PREFACE 

The  General  Synod  of  the  Reformed  Church  in  the  United  States,  at 
its  meeting  in  191 1  at  Canton,  Ohio,  appointed  a  committee  to  prepare  a 
new  Hymnal.  The  Committee,  as  one  of  its  earliest  acts,  decided  to  invite 
the  Reformed  Church  in  America  to  join  them  in  the  work.  This  invitation 
conveyed  to  their  General  Synod  in  19 12  was  accepted  and  a  committee  of 
three  was  appointed,  and  afterwards  enlarged  to  seven  members.  These 
two  committees,  diligently  working  together,  have  prepared  "The  Hymnal 
of  the  Reformed  Church"  for  use  in  both  denominations.  The  completed 
work  was  submitted  to  both  General  Synods  in  1917  and  was  adopted  by  them. 

It  has  been  the  especial  aim  of  the  Hymnal  Committee  in  presenting 
this  book  to  the  congregations  of  the  Reformed  Churches  to  provide  a  hymnal 
that  would  be  acceptable  and  useful  to  all  elements  in  both  denominations. 
In  the  selection  of  tunes  it  has  been  our  purpose  in  determining  their  range 
and  degree  of  difficulty  to  prepare  a  hymnal  for  congregational  singing,  and 
where  desirable  to  suggest  an  alternate,  simpler  tune.  Tunes  have  been 
sought  with  pleasing,  yet  dignified  melody,  and  with  rich  harmony.  Atten- 
tion is  also  called  to  the  chants  where  the  accented,  prolonged  syllable  is 
printed  in  heavier  type.  Our  purpose  has  been  to  lead  congregations  in 
every  way  possible  into  a  more  heartfelt  worship  in  all  Church  services,  and 
a  more  general  participation  in  congregational  singing. 

The  Committee  desires  to  express  cordial  thanks  to  the  following  authors, 
composers  and  music  publishers,  who  have  without  compensation  kindly 
given  us  the  privilege  of  using  their  hymns  and  tunes:  The  Century  Company, 
Oliver  Ditson  and  Company,  Miss  Alice  Nevin,  Rev.  Charles  Hutchins, 
Rev.  Dr.  Louis  F.  Benson,  Rev.  Dr.  Henry  Van  Dyke,  Professor  Kurzen- 
knabe.  Rev.  Dr.  J.  H.  Vincent,  C.  Harold  Lowden,  The  Continent,  The

Let  us  make  a  joyful  noise  to  the

Let  us  come  before  his  presence  with 

thanksgiving ; 
Let  us  make  a  joyful  noise  unto  him

(Also  Felix,  No.  435.) 

O  we  would  bless  Thee  for  Thy  ceaseless  care, 
And  all  Thy  works  from  day  to  day  declare ; 
Is  not  our  life  with  hourly  mercies  crowned? 
Does  not  Thine  arm  encircle  us  around? 

Alas,  unworthy  of  Thy  boundless  love, 
Too  oft  our  feet  from  Thee,  our  Father,  rove; 
But  now,  encouraged  by  Thy  voice,  we  come, 
Returning  sinners  to  a  Father's  home. 

O  by  that  Name  in  whom  all  fulness  dwells, 
O  by  that  love  which  every  love  excels, 
O  by  that  blood  so  freely  shed  for  sin, 
Open  blest  mercy's  gate  and  take  us  in.

Round  Thy  altars,  O  Most  High! 
Happier  souls  that  find  a  rest 

In  a  heavenly  Father's  breast! 

Like  the  wandering  dove,  that  found 

No  repose  on  earth  around, 

They  can  to  their  ark  repair 

And  enjoy  it  ever  there. 

3  Happy  souls!   their  praises  flow 
Even  in  this  vale  of  woe; 
Waters  in  the  desert  rise. 
Manna  feeds  them  from  the  skies  :

To  spirits  of  the  blest.

The  light  first  had  its  birth; 
On  thee,  for  our  salvation, 

Christ  rose  from  depths  of  earth; 
On  thee,  our  Lord,  victorious. 

The  Spirit  sent  from  heaven; 
And  thus  on  thee,  most  glorious, 

A  triple  light  was  given. 

3  To-day  on  weary  nations 

The  heavenly  manna  falls; 
To  holy  convocations 
The  silver  trumpet  calls.

2  Sweet  is  the  day  of  sacred  rest; 

No  mortal  cares  shall  seize  my  breast ; 
O  may  my  heart  in  tune  be  found, 
Like  David's  harp  of  solemn  sound. 

3  Lord,  I  shall  share  a  glorious  part, 
When  grace  hath  well  refined  my  heart,

In  that  eternal  world  of  joy.

2  Pray  that  He  may  prosper  ever 
Each  endeavor, 

When  thine  aim  is  good  and  true; 
But  that  He  may  ever  thwart  thee. 
And  convert  thee, 

When  thou  evil  would' st  pursue. 


4  Mayest  thou  on  life's  last  morrow, 
Free  from  sorrow. 

Pass  away  in  slumber  sweet; 
And,  released  from  death's  dark  sadness, 
Rise  in  gladness, 

That  far  brighter  Sun  to  greet. 


3  Think  that  He  thy  ways  beholdeth; 
He  unfoldeth 

Every  fault  that  lurks  within; 
He,  the  hidden  shame  glossed  over. 
Can  discover, 

And  discern  each  deed  of  sin. 


5  Only  God's  free  gifts  abuse  not, 
Light  refuse  not. 

But  His  Spirit's  voice  obey; 
Thou  with  Him  shalt  dwell,  beholding 
Light  enfolding 

All  things  in  unclouded  day.

2  Alone  with  Thee,  amid  the  mystic  shadows, 

The  solemn  hush  of  nature  newly  born; 
Alone  with  Thee,   in  breathless  adoration. 
In  the  calm  dew  and  freshness  of  the  morn. 

3  When  sinks  the  soul,  subdued  by  toil,   to  slumber, 

Its  closing  eye  looks  up  to  Thee  in  prayer; 
Sweet  the  repose  beneath  Thy  wings  o'ershading, 
But  sweeter  still,   to  wake  and  find  Thee  there. 

4  So  shall    it  be  at  last,   in  that  bright  morning. 

When  the  soul  waketh,  and  life's  shadows  flee; 
O  in  that  hour,   fairer  than  daylight  dawning.

2  The  sorrows  of  Thy  servants.  Lord, 

O  do  not  Thou  despise, 
But  let  the  incense  of  our  prayers 

Before  Thy  mercy  rise. 
The  brightness  of  the  coming  night 

Upon  the  darkness  rolls; 
With  hopes  of  future  glory,  chase 

The  shadows  from  our  souls. 

3  Slowly  the  rays  of  daylight  fade; 

So  fade  within  our  heart 
The  hopes  in  earthly  love  and  joy 
That  one  by  one  depart. 


Slowly  the  bright  stars,  one  by  one, 

Within  the  heavens  shine; 
Give  us,  O  Lord,  fresh  hopes  in  heaven. 

And  trust  in  things  divine. 

Let  peace,  O  Lord,  Thy  peace,  O  God, 

Upon  our  souls  descend; 
From  midnight  fears,  and  perils,  Thou 

Our  trembling  hearts  defend: 
Give  us  a  respite  from  our  toil. 

Calm  and  subdue  our  woes; 
Through  the  long  day  we  labor.  Lord, 

O  give  us  now  repose.

2  Our  changeful  lives  are  ebbing  to  an  end'; 
Onward  to  darkness  and  to  death  we  tend  : 

O  Conqueror  of  the  grave,  be  Thou  our  Guide, 
Be  Thou  our  Light  in  death's  dark  eventide; 
Then  in  our  mortal  hour  will  be  no  gloom, 
No  sting  in  death,   no  terror  in  the  tomb. 

3  The  weary  world  is  mouldering  to  decay; 
Its  glories  wane,   its.  pageants  fade  away: 

In  that  last  sunset,   when  the  stars  shall  fall, 
May  we  arise,   awakened  by  Thy  call, 
With  Thee,   O  Lord,   for  ever  to  abide 
In  that  blest  day  which  has  no  eventide.

Though  the  night  be  dark  and  dreary. 
Darkness  cannot  hide  from  Thee; 

Thou  art  He  who,  never  weary, 
Watchest  where  Thy  people  be. 

Though  destruction  walk  around  us,    ' 
Though  the  arrow  past  us  fly,

Angel -guards  from  Thee  surround  us, 
We  are  safe,  if  Thou  art  nigh. 

Should  swift  death  this  night  o'ertake  us, 
And  our  couch  become  our  tomb, 

May  the  morn  in  heaven  awake  us. 
Clad  in  light  and  deathless  bloom,

2  When  the  soft  dews  of  kindly  sleep  4  If  some  poor  wandering  child  of  Thine 
My  wearied  eyelids  gently  steep,  Have  spurned  to-day  the  voice  divine, 

Be  my  last  thought,  how  sweet  to  rest         Now,  Lord,  the  gracious  work  begin; 
Forever  on  my  Saviour's  breast.  Let  him  no  more  lie  down  in  sin. 


3  Abide  with  me  from  morn  till  eve, 
For  without  Thee  I  cannot  live; 
Abide  with  me  when  night  is  nigh, 
For  without  Thee  I  dare  not  die.

5  Watch  by  the  sick;  enrich  the  poor 
With  blessings  from  Thy  boundless  store; 
Be  every  mourner's  sleep  to-night, 
Like  infants'  slumbers,  pure  and  light.

2  That  sleep  may  wearied  limbs  restore, 
And  fit  for  toil  and  use  once  more; 
May  gently  soothe  the  careworn  breast. 
And  lull  our  anxious  griefs  to  rest. 

3  We  thank  Thee  for  the  day  that's  gone; 
We  pray  Thee,  now  the  night  comes  on; 
O  help  us  sinners  as  we  raise 

To  Thee  our  grateful  hymn  of  praise. 


4  To  Thee  our  hearts  their  music  bring. 
To  Thee  our  lips  in  concord  sing; 

To  Thee  our  rapt  affections  soar. 
And  Thee  our  chastened  souls  adore. 

5  Lord,  when  the  parting  beams  of  day 
In  evening's  shadows  fade  away, 

Let  faith  no  wildering  darkness  know. 
But  night  with  faith' sown  splendor  glow.

2  We  thank  Thee  that  Thy  Church  un- 

sleeping, 
While  earth  rolls  onward  into  light. 
Through  all  the  world  her  watch  is  keep- 
ing, 
And  rests  not  now  by  day  or  night. 

3  As  o'er  each  continent  and  island 

The  dawn  leads  on  another  day. 
The  voice  of  prayer  is  never  silent, 
I^Or  dies  the  strain  of  praise  away. 


4  The  sun,  that  bids  us  rest,  is  waking 

Our  brethren  '  neath  the  western  sky. 
And  hour  by  hour  fresh  lips  are  mak- 
ing 
Thy  wondrous  doings  heard  on  high. 

5  So  be  it,  Lord;  Thy  throne  shall  never, 

Like  earth's  proud  empires, pass  away, 
But  stand,  and  rule,  and  grow  forever, 
Till    all    Thy    creatures    own    Thy 
sway.

2  Forgive  me.  Lord,  for  Thy  dear  Son, 
The  ill  that  I  this  day  have  done, 
That  with  the  world,  myself,  and  Thee, 
I,  ere  I  sleep,  at  peace  may  be. 

3  Teach  m.e  to  live  that  I  may  dread 
The  grave  as  little  as  my  bed, 
Teach  me  to  die,  that  so  I  may 
Rise  glorious  at  the  awful  day. 

4  O  may  my  soul  on  Thee  repose, 

And  may  sweet  sleep  mine  eyelids  close, 


Sleep  that  may  me  more  vigorous  make 
To  serve  my  God  when  I  awake. 

5  When  in  the  night  I  sleepless  lie. 

My  soul  with  heavenly  thoughts  supply; 
Let  no  ill  dreams  disturb  my  rest, 
No  powers  of  darkness  me  molest. 

6  Praise  God,  from  whom  all  blessings  flow; 
Praise  Him,  all  creatures  here  below; 
Praise  Him  above,  ye  heavenly  host; 
Praise  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost. 

Thomas  Ken,  1695     (Text  of  1709)

2  The  joys  of  day  are  over; 

I  lift  my  heart  to  Thee, 
And  call  on  Thee  that  sinless 

The  hours  of  gloom  may  be; 
O  Jesus,  make  their  darkness  light. 
And  save  me  through  the  coming  night. 

3  The  toils  of  day  are  over; 

I  raise  my  hymn  to  Thee, 
And  ask,  that  free  from  peril, 


The  hours  of  fear  may  be; 
O  Jesus,  keep  me  in  Thy  sight. 
And  guard  me  through  the  coming  night. 

Be  Thou  my  soul's  Preserver, 
O  God,  for  Thou  dost  know 

How  many  are  the  perils 

Through  which  I  have  to  go; 

Lover  of  men,  O  hear  my  call. 

And  guard  and  save  me  from  them  all.

3  Guard  us  waking,  guard  us  sleeping, 

And,  when  we  die. 
May  we  in  Thy  mighty  keeping, 

All  peaceful  lie; 
When  the  last  dread  call  shall  wake  us. 
Do  not  Thou,  our  God,  forsake  us, 
But  to  reign  in  glory  take  us. 

With  Thee  on  high.

2  The  day  is  gone,  its  hours  have  run,       4  Do  more  than  pardon;  give  us  joy. 


And  Thou  hast  taken  count  of  all. 
The  scanty  triumphs  grace  hath  won. 

The  broken  vow,  the  frequent  fall. 
Through    life's  long  day   and  death's 
dark  night, 

O  gentle  Jesus,  be  our  Light. 

3  Grant  us,  dear  Lord,  from  evil  ways 
True  absolution  and  release; 
And  bless  us,  more  than  in  past  days. 

With  purity  and  inward  peace. 
Through    life's  long  day  and    death's 
dark  night, 
O  gentle  Jesus,  be  our  Light. 


Sweet  fear,  and  sober  liberty. 
And  simple  hearts  without  alloy 

That  only  long  to  be  like  Thee. 
Through    life's   long  day  and   death's 
dark  night. 

O  gentle  Jesus,  be  our  Light. 

For  all  we  love,  the  poor,  the  sad. 
The  sinful,  unto  Thee  we  call; 

Oh,  let  Thy  mercy  make  us  glad; 
Thou  art  our  Jesus,  and  our  all. 

Through    life's   long  day  and   death's 
dark  night, 
O  gentle  Jesus,  be  our  Light.

Glad  Thy  summons  to  obey:

Reign  with  Thee  in  endless  day.

2  Praise  the  Lord  for  He  hath  spoken; 

Worlds  His  mighty  voice  obeyed; 
Laws  which  never  shall  be  broken, 
For  their  guidance  He  hath  made. 

3  Praise  the  Lord,  for  He  is  glorious; 

Never  shall  His  promise  fail; 


God  hath  made  His  saints  victorious; 

Sin  and  death  shall  not  prevail. 
Praise  the  God  of  our  salvation; 

Hosts  on  high  His  power  proclaim; 
Heaven  and  earth,  and  all  creation 

Laud  and  magnify  His  name.

1  O  worship  the  King,  all  glorious  above! 

O  gratefully  sing  His  power  and  His  love; 
Our  Shield  and  Defender,  the  Ancient  of  Days, 
Pavilioned  in  splendor  and  girded  with  praise. 

2  O  tell  of  His  might,   O  sing  of  His  grace. 
Whose  robe  is  the  light,  whose  canopy  space, 

His  chariots  of  wrath  the  deep  thunder-clouds  form. 
And  dark  is  His  path  on  the  wings  of  the  storm. 

3  The  earth  with  its  store  of  wonders  untold, 
Almighty,  Thy  power  hath  founded  of  old; 
Hath  stablished  it  fast  by  a  changeless  decree. 
And  round  it  hath  cast,  like  a  mantle,  the  sea. 

4  Thy  bountiful  care  what  tongue  can  recite? 
It  breathes  in  the  air;    it  shines  in   the  light; 

It  streams  from  the  hills;    it  descends  to  the  plain; 
And  sweetly  distils  in  the  dew  and  the  rain. 

5  Frail  children  of  dust,  and  feeble  as  frail. 
In  Thee  do  we  trust,  nor  find  Thee  to  fail; 
Thy  mercies  how  tender,  how  firm  to  the  end, 
Our  Maker,  Defender,  Redeemer,  and  Friend! 

6  O  measureless  Might!     Ineffable  Love! 
While  angels  delight  to  hymn  Thee  above. 
Thy  humbler  creation,  though  feeble  their  lays. 

With  true  adoration  shall  lisp  to  Thy  praise.       Robert  Gram,  1833

2  To  God  the  Son  belongs 

Immortal  glory  too; 
Who  bought  us  with  His  blood 

From  everlasting  woe : 
And  now  He  lives  and  now  He  reigns, 
And  sees  the  fruit  of  all  His  pains. 

3  To  God,  the  Spirit's  name 

Immortal  worship  give. 
Whose  new-creating  power 


Makes  the  dead  sinner  live  : 
His  work  completes  the  great  design, 
And  fills  the  soul  with  joy  divine. 
4  Almighty  God,  to  Thee 

Be  endless  honors  done, 
The  undivided  Three, 

The  great  and  glorious  One : 
Where  reason  fails,  with  all  her  powers, 
There  faith  prevails  and  love  adores. 

Isaac  Watts,  1709 


61     CREATION    L.  M.  D.    (No.  59) 

1  Eternal  Source  of  every  joy. 

Well  may  Thy  praise  our  lips  employ, 
While  in  Thy  temple  we  appear, 
To  hail  Thee,  Sovereign  of  the  year. 
Wide  as  the  wheels  of  nature  roll, 
Thy  hand  supports  and  guides  the  whole; 
The  sun  is  taught  by  Thee  to  rise, 
And  darkness  when  to  veil  the  skies. 

2  The  flowery  spring,  at  Thy  command, 
Perfumes  the  air  and  paints  the  land; 
The  summer  rays  with  vigor  shine, 
To  raise  the  corn  and  cheer  the  vine. 


Thy  hand  in  autumn  richly  pours 
Through  all  our  coasts  redundant  stores; 
And  winters,  softened  by  Thy  care. 
No  more  a  face  of  horror  wear. 

3  Seasons,andmonths,and weeks,and  days. 
Demand  successive  songs  of  praise; 
And  be  the  grateful  homage  paid, 
"With  morning  light  and  evening  shade. 

-    Here  in  Thy  house  let  incense  rise. 
And  circling  Sabbaths  bless  our  eyes; 
Till  to  those  lofty  heights  we  soar, 
Where  days  and  years  revolve  no  more.

With  all  the  saints  on  earth, 
Pour  out  the  strains  of  joy  and  bliss, 
True  rapture,  noblest  mirth.

Still  march  in  firm  array. 
As  warriors  through  the  darkness  toil 
Till  dawns  the  golden  day. 

6  At  last  the  march  shall  end. 

The  wearied  ones  shall  rest. 
The  pilgrims  find  their  Father's  house, 
Jerusalem  the  blest.

Still  chanting  as  ye  go;  Rejoice,  give  thanks,  and  sing; 

From  youth  to  age,  by  night  and  day.  Your  glorious  banner  wave  on  high, 

In  gladness  and  in  woe.  The  cross  of  Christ  your  King.

Return  to  this  Thy  house  of  prayer; 
Assembled  in  Thy  sacred  Name, 
Where  we  Thy  parting  promise  clairn ;

And  make  our  secret  soul  to  be

When  earth  and  heaven  shall  melt  away, 
Thy  flock,  redeemed  from  sinful  stain.

2  He  formed  the  deeps  unknown, 

He  gave  the  seas  their  bound; 
The  watery  worlds  are  all  His  own, 
And  all  the  solid  ground. 

3  Come,  worship  at  His  throne; 

Come,  bow  before  the  Lord: 


We  are  His  works,  and  not  our  own; 
He  formed  us  by  His  word. 

4  To-day  attend  His  voice, 

Nor  dare  provoke  His  rod; 
Come,  like  the  people  of  His  choice. 
And  own  your  gracious  God.

1  To  God  the  only  wise, 

Our  Saviour  and  our  King, 

Let  all  the  saints  below  the  skies 

Their  humble  praises  bring. 

2  'Tis  His  almighty  love, 

His  counsel  and  His  care, 
Preserves  us  safe  from  sin  and  death, 
And  every  hurtful  snare. 

3  He  will  present  our  souls, 

Unblemished  and  complete, 


Before  the  glory  of  His  face, 
With  joys  divinely  great. 

Then  all  the  chosen  seed 

Shall  meet  before  the  throne, 

Shall  bless  the  conduct  of  His  grace, 
And  make  His  wonders  known. 

To  our  Redeemer  God 

Wisdom  and  power  belongs, 

Immortal  crowns  of  majesty. 
And  never-ending  songs.

2  Songs  of  praise  awoke  the  morn,  4  And  can  man  alone  be  dumb, 
When  the  Prince  of  Peace  was  born;  Till  that  glorious  kingdom  come? 
Songs  of  praise  arose,  when  He  No;   the  Church  delights  to  raise 
Captive  led  captivity.                                     Psalms  and  hymns  and  songs  of  praise. 

3  Heaven  and  earth  must  pass  away,  5  Saints  below,  with  heart  and  voice, 
Songs  of  praise  shall  crown  that  day;  Still  in  songs  of  praise  rejoice, 
God  will  make  new  heavens,  new  earth,        Learning  here,  by  faith  and  love, 
Songs  of  praise  shall  hail  their  birth.  Songs  of  praise  to  sing  above. 

6  Borne  upon  their  latest  breath, 
Songs  of  praise  shall  conquer  death; 
Then,  amidst  eternal  joy, 
Songs  of  praise  their  power  employ, 

James  Montgomery,  1819

2  Let  the  people  praise  Thee,   Lord! 
Let  Thy  love  on  all  be  poured; 
Let  the  nations  shout  and  sing 
Glory  to   their  Saviour  King; 

At  Thy  feet  their  tribute  pay. 
And  Thy  holy  will  obey. 

3  Let  the  people  praise  Thee,   Lord! 
Earth  shall  then  her  fruits  afford,

I  am  surrounded  still  with  God. 


Amazing  knowledge,  vast  and  great! 
What  large  extent,  what  lofty  height! 
My  soul,  with  all  the  powers  I  boast, 
Is  in  the  boundless  prospect  lost. 

O  may  these  thoughts  possess  my  breast. 
Where'er  I  rove,  where'er  I  rest! 
Nor  let  my  weaker  passions  dare 
Consent  to  sin,  for  God  is  there.

How  beautiful  Thy  mercy-seat. 
In  depths  of  burning  light!

Incessantly  adored!

Almighty  as  Thou  art; 
For  Thou  hast  stooped  to  ask  of  me 
The  love  of  my  poor  heart. 

5  No  earthly  father  loves  like  Thee, 

No  mother  half  so  mild 
Bears  and  forbears,  as  Thou  hast  done 
With  me.  Thy  sinful  child.

With  deepest,  tenderest  fears,  ^^'hat  rapture  will  it  be,

And  penitential  tears.  And  gaze  and  gaze  on  Thee.

O  the  joy  to  see  Thee  reigning, 

Thee,  my  own  beloved  Lord! 
Every  tongue  Thy  name  confessing, 
Worship,  honor,  glory,  blessing 

Brought  to  Thee  with  glad  accord; 
Thee,  my  Master  and  my  Friend, 

Vindicated  and  enthroned; 
Unto  earth's  remotest  end 

Glorified,  adored,  and  owned. 

Frances  R.  Havergal,  1873 


2  Thou  art  coming.  Thou  art  coming;        3 

We  shall  meet  Thee  on  Thy  way. 
We  shall  see  Thee,  we  shall  know  Thee, 
We  shall  bless  Thee,  we  shall  show  Thee 

All  our  hearts  could  never  say : 
What  an  anthem  that  will  be. 

Ringing  out  our  love  to  Thee, 
Pouring  out  our  rapture  sweet 

At  Thine  own  all-glorious  feet.

2  Every  eye  shall  now  behold  Him,  4  Now  Redemption,  long  expected, 

Robed  in  dreadful  majesty;  See  in  solemn  pomp  appear! 

Those  who  set  at  naught  and  sold  Him,        All  His  saints,  by  man  rejected, 
Pierced,  and  nailed  Him  to  the  tree.  Now  shall  meet  Him  in  the  air: 

Deeply  wailing,  Hallelujah! 

Shall  the  true  Messiah  see.  See  the  day  of  God  appear. 


3  Every  island,  sea,  and  mountain, 

Heaven  and  earth,  shall  flee  away; 
All  who  hate  Him  must,  confounded, 
Hear  the  trump  proclaim  the  day; 

Come  to  judgment! 
Come  to  judgment,  come  away! 


5  Yea,  Amen!  let  all  adore  Thee, 
High  on  Thine  eternal  throne: 
Saviour,  take  the  power  and  glory; 
Claim  the  kingdom  for  Thine  own; 

O  come  quickly, 
Everlasting  God,  come  down.

2  Zion  hears  the  watchmen  singing. 
And  all  her  heart  with  joy  is  springing, 
She  wakes,  she  rises  from  her  gloom; 
For  her  Lord  comes  down  all  glorious, 
The  strong  in  grace,  in  truth  victorious, 
Her  Star  is  risen,  her  Light  is  come, 
Ah,  come,  Thou  blessed  Lord, 
O  Jesus,  Son  of  God, 
Hallelujah! 
We  follow  till  the  halls  we  see 
Where  Thou  hast  bid  us  sup  with  Thee 


3  Now  let  all  the  heavens  adore  Thee, 
And  men  and  angels  sing  before  Thee, 
With  harp  and  cymbal's  clearest  tone; 
Of  one  pearl  each  shining  portal. 
Where  we  are  with  the  choir  immortal 
Of  angels  round  Thy  dazzling  throne; 
Nor  eye  hath  seen,  nor  ear 
Hath  yet  attained  to  hear 
What  there  is  ours; 
But  we  rejoice,  and  sing  to  Thee 
Our  hymns  of  joy  eternally.

As  with  joyful  steps  they  sped 
To  that  lowly  manger-bed, 
There  to  bend  the  knee  before 
Him  whom  heaven  and  earth  adore. 
So  may  we  with  willing  feet 
Ever  seek  the  mercy-seat. 

As  they  offered  gifts  most  rare 
At  that  manger  rude  and  bare. 
So  may  we  with  holy  joy, 
Pure  and  free  from  sin's  alloy, 
All  our  costliest  treasures  bring, 
Christ,  to  Thee,  our  heavenly  King. 


Holy  Jesus,  every  day 
Keep  us  in  the  narrow  way; 
And,  when  earthly  things  are  past, 
Bring  our  ransomed  souls  at  last 
Where  they  need  no  star  to  guide, 
Where  no  clouds  Thy  glory  hide. 

In  the  heavenly  country  bright, 
Need  they  no  created  light; 
Thou  its  Light,  its  Joy,  its  Crown, 
Thou  its  Sun  which  goes  not  down; 
There  forever  may  we  sing 
Alleluias  to  our  King.

Soft  and  sweet,  doth  entreat : 
"Flee  from  woe  and  danger! 
Brethren,  come!   from  all  that  grieves 
You  are  freed;  all  you  need     [yo^ 
I  will  surely  give  you." 


Here  let  all,  great  and  small, 
Kneel  in  awe  and  wonder! 

Love  Him  who  with  love  is  yearning! 

Hail  the  Star,  that  from  far 
Bright  with  hope  is  burning! 


4  Thee,   dear  Lord,   with  heed  I'll  cherish, 
Live  to  Thee,  and  with  Thee 
Dying,  shall  not  perish; 

But  shall  dwell  with  Thee  forever. 

Far  on  high,  in  the  joy 
That  can  alter  never.

Still  through  the  cloven  skies  they  come. 

With  peaceful  wings  unfurled; 
And  still  their  heavenly  music  floats 

O'er  all  the  weary  world: 
Above  its  sad  and  lowly  plains 

They  bend  on  hovering  wing, 
And  ever  o'er  its  Babel  sounds 

The  blessed  angels  sing. 

And  ye,  beneath  life's  crushing  load. 
Whose  forms  are  bending  low, 

Who  toil  along  the  climbing  way 
With  painful  steps  and  slow, — 


Look  now,  for  glad  and  golden  hours 

Come  swiftly  on  the  wing: 
O  rest  beside  the  weary  road. 

And  hear  the  angels  sing. 

For  lo,  the  days  are  hastening  on. 

By  prophet  bards  foretold, 
When  with  the  ever-circling  years 

Comes  round  the  age  of  gold; 
When  peace  shall  over  all  the  earth 

Its  ancient  splendors  fling, 
And  the  whole  world  give  back  the  song 

Which  now  the  angels  sing.

2  For  Christ  is  born  of  Mary; 

And  gathered  all  above, 
While  mortals  sleep,  the  angels  keep 

Their  watch  of  wondering  love. 
O  morning  stars,  together 

Proclaim  the  holy  birth; 
And  praises  sing  to  God  the  King, 

And  peace  to  men  on  earth. 

3  How  silently,  how  silently, 

The  wondrous  gift  is  given! 

So  God  imparts  to  human  hearts 

The  blessings  of  His  heaven. 


No  ear  may  hear  His  coming, 

But  in  this  world  of  sin, 
Where  meek  souls  will  receive  Him  still, 

The  dear  Christ  enters  in. 

4  O  holy  Child  of  Bethlehem, 

Descend  to  us,  we  pray; 
Cast  out  our  sin  and  enter  in; 

Be  born  in  us  to-day.

The  hopes  and  fears    of 


all 


For  Christ  is  born  of  Mary; 

And  gathered  all  above, 
While  mortals  sleep,  the  angels  keep 

Their  watch  of  wond'ring  love. 
O  morning  stars,  together 

Proclaim  the  holy  birth; 
And  praises  sing  to  God  the  King, 

And  peace  to  men  on  earth. 

How  silently,  how  silently. 
The  wondrous  gift  is  given! 

So  God  imparts  to  human  hearts 
The  blessings  of  His  heaven. 


No  ear  may  hear  His  coming, 

But  in  this  world  of  sin, 
Where  meek  souls  will  receive  Him  still, 

The  dear  Christ  enters  in. 

O  holy  Child  of  Bethlehem, 

Descend  to  us,  we  pray; 
Cast  out  our  sin  and  enter  in; 

Be  born  in  us  to-day. 
We  hear  the  Christmas  angels 

The  great  glad  tidings  tell; 
O  come  to  us,  abide  with  us, 

Our  Lord  Emmanuel.

Watching  o'er  your  flocks  by  night,

Worship  Christ,  the  new-bom  King. 


4  Saints,  before  the  altar  bending. 

Watching  long  in  hope  and  fear, 
Suddenly  the  Lord,  descending, 
In  His  temple  shall  appear : 

Come  and  worship. 
Worship  Christ,  the  new-born  King.

God  the  Father,  Spirit,  Son;

See  the  trembling  shepherds  fall.

In  the  fields  of  Bethlehem?

King  forever;  ceasing  never  Sorrowing,  sighing,  bleeding,  dying 

Over  us  all  to  reign.  Sealed  in  the  stone-cold  tomb. 

3  Frankincense  to  offer  have  I;  5  Glorious  now  behold  Him  arise 

Incense  owns  a  Deity  nigh :  King,  and  God,  and  Sacrifice, 

Prayer  and  praising,  all  men  raising,  Alleluia,  Alleluia! 

Worship  Him,  God  on  high.  Heaven  and  earth  replies.

2  The  star  shone  brightly  overhead, 

The  air  was  calm  and  still; 
O'er  Bethlehem's  fields  its  rays  were  shed, 

The  dew  lay  on  the  hill; 
We  see  no  throne,  no  palace  fair, 
Where  is  the  King?  O  where?  O  where? 
O  where  is  the  King?  O  where? 

3  An  old  man  knelt  at  a  manger  low, 

The  Babe  lay  in  the  stall; 
The  starlight  played  on  the  infant  brow. 

Deep  silence  lay  o'er  all; 
A  maiden  bent  o'er  the  Babe  in  prayer, 
There  is  the  King!   O  there!  O  there! 
Q  there  is  the  King!  O  there!

To  that  heavenly  home. 
Where  no  sin  or  sorrow 

Evermore  shall  come.

2  What  festal  raptures  fill  our  hearts 

When  heaven  and  earth  are  married 
there; 
What  hope,  what  love,  the  Lord  imparts, 
What    tenderness   and    strength   of 
prayer : 
For  then  within,  His  glory  glows. 
And  gifts  and  graces  all  divine 
Again  that  miracle  disclose 
Of  water  glorified  in  wine. 


O    Christ,    unfold    Thy    quickening 
might 

From  day  to  day,  that  all  may  see 
Within    each    saint,    still     beaming 
bright. 

Thy  glorious  Epiphany: 
And  find  that  best  of  wine  at  last, 

That  sweetest  gift  of  grace  outpoured, 
Richer  than  Cana's  humble  feast, 

The  m*irriage  supper  of  the  Lord.

For  ever  on  Thy  burdened  heart 
A  weight  of  sorrow  hung; 

Yet  no  ungentle,  murmuring  word 
Escaped  Thy  silent  tongue. 

Thy  foes  might  hate,  despise,  revile, 
Thy  friends  unfaithful  prove; 

Unwearied  in  forgiveness  still, 
Thy  heart  could  only  love.

4  O  give  us  hearts  to  love  like  Thee, 

Like  Thee,  O  Lord,  to  grieve 

Far  more  for  other's  sins  than  all 

The  wrongs  that  we  receive. 

5  One  with  Thyself,  may  every  eye 

In  us.  Thy  brethren,  see 
The  gentleness  and  grace  that  spring 
From  union  Lord,  with  Thee.

2  O  wash  our  hearts,  restore  the  contrite  soul. 
Stretch  forth  Thy  healing  hand,  and  make  us  whole; 
O  bend  our  stubborn  knees  to  kneel  to  Thee; 
Speak  but  the  word,  and  we  once  more  are  free. 

3  Yea,  Lord,  we  claim  the  promise  of  Thy  love. 
Thy  love  which  can  all  guilt,  all  pain  remove; 
Nigh  to  our  souls  Thy  great  salvation  bring, 
Then  sickness  hath  no  pang,  and  death  no  sting. 

4  We  hail  this  pledge  in  all  Thy  deeds  of  grace; 
As  once  disease  and  sorrow  fled  Thy  face, 

So,  when  that  face  again  unveiled  we  see 
Sickness  and  tears  and  death  no  more  shall  be. 

5  Then  grant  us  strength  to  pray  "Thy  kingdom  come," 
When  we  shall  know  Thee  in  Thy  Father's  home, 
And  at  Thy  great  Epiphany  adore 

The  co-eternal  Godhead  evermore.

The  human  lineaments  that  shine 
Irradiant  with  a  light  divine, 
Till  we  too  change  from  grace  to  grace, 
Gazing  on  that  transfigured  face. 

O  Master,  it  is  good  to  be 
Here  on  the  holy  mount  with  Thee, 
When  darkling  in  the  depths  of  night. 
When  dazzled  with  excess  of  light, 
We  bow  before  the  heavenly  voice 
That  bids  bewildered  souls  rejoice. 
Though   love  wax  cold,  and   faith   be 

dim, 
"This  is  my  Son,  O  hear  ye  Him." 

Arthur  P.  Stanley,  187a 


2  O  Master,  it  is  good  to  be 

With  Thee,  and  with  Thy  faithful  three; 
Here,  where  the  apostle's  heart  of  rock 
Is  nerved  against  temptation's  shock; 
Here,  where  the  son  of  thunder  learns 
The  thought  that  breathes,  and  word  ^ 

that  bums; 
Here,  where  on  eagle's  wings  we  move 
With  him  whose  last,  best  creed  is  love. 

3  O  Master,  it  is  good  to  be 
Entranced,  enwrapt,  alone  with  Thee; 
And  watch  Thy  glistering  raiment  glow 
Whiter  than  Hermon's  whitest  snow,

Ride  on!   ride  on  in  majesty! 
Hark!  all  the  tribes  hosanna  cry; 
O  Saviour  meek,  pursue  Thy  road 
With    palms    and    scattered    garments 
strowed. 

Ride  on!   ride  on  in  majesty! 
The  winged  squadrons  of  the  sky 
Look  down  with  sad  and  wondering  eyes 
To  see  the  approaching  sacrifice. 


4  Ride  on!  ride  on  in  majesty! 
The  last  and  fiercest  strife  is  nigh; 
The  Father  on  His  sapphire  throne 
Expects  His  own  Anointed  Son. 

5  Ride  on!  ride  on  in  majesty! 
In  lowly  pomp  ride  on  to  die; 

Bow  Thy  meek  head  to  mortal  pain, 
Then  take,   O  God,  Thy   power,  and 
reign.

4  The  secret  of  the  Lord 

Escapes  each  human  eye, 
And  faithful  pondering  hearts  await 
The  full  epiphany. 


Lord,  visit  Thou  our  souls, 
And  teach  us  by  Thy  grace 

Each  dim  revealing  of  Thyself 
With  loving  awe  to  trace;

The  cloud  shall  pass  away, 
And  on  the  cleansed  soul  shall  burst 
The  everlasting  day,

2  What  Thou,  my  Lord  hast  suffered 

Was  all  for  sinner's  gain; 
Mine,  mine  was  the  transgression, 

But  Thine  the  deadly  pain. 
Lo,  here  I  fall,  my  Saviour! 

'Tis  I  deserve  Thy  place; 
Look  on  me  with  Thy  favor, 

Vouchsafe  to  me  Thy  grace. 

3  What  language  shall  I  borrow 

To  thank  Thee,  dearest  Friend, 
For  this.  Thy  dying  sorrow. 
Thy  pity  without  end  ?

Gower  I 


Copyright  by  John  H.  Gower 

We  may  not  know,  we  cannot  tell. 
What  pains  He  had  to  bear; 

But  we  believe  it  was  for  us 
He  hung  and  suffered  there. 

He  died  that  we  might  be  forgiven, 
He  died  to  make  us  good. 

That  we  might  go  at  last  to  heaven, 
Saved  by  His  precious  blood. 


4  There  was  no  other  good  enough 

To  pay  the  price  of  sin; 

He  only  could  unlock  the  gate 

Of  heaven,  and  let  us  in. 

5  O  dearly,  dearly  has  He  loved. 

And  we  must  love  Him  too, 
And  trust  in  His  redeeming  blood. 
And  try  His  works  to  do.

2   Upon  that  cross  of  Jesus 

Mine  eye  at  times  can  see 
The  very  dying  form  of  One 

Who  suffered  there  for  me : 
And  from  my  smitten  heart   with  tears 

Two  wonders  I  confess, — 
The  wonders  of  His  glorious  love 

And  my  own  worthlessness. 


3  I  take,  O  cross,  thy  shadow 

For  my  abiding-place; 
I  ask  no  other  sunshine  than 

The  sunshine  of  His  face; 
Content  to  let  the  world  go  by, 

To  know  no  gain  nor  loss, 
My  sinful  self,  my  only  shame. 

My  glory,  all  the  cross.

Ye  mortals,  catch  the  sound, 
Redeemed  by  Him  from  hell ; 

And  send  the  echo  round 

The  globe  on  which  you  dwell : 

Transported  cry,  "Jesus,  who  bled, 

Hath  left  the  dead,  no  more  to  die. ' ' 

All  hail !   triumphant  Lord  ! 

Who  sav' St  us  with  Thy  blood  ! 
Wide  be  Thy  name  adored, 

Thou  rising,  reigning  God  ! 
With  Thee  we  rise,  with  Thee  we  reign 
And  empires  gain,  beyond  the  skies.

And  worship  at  His  feet :

From  realms  of  day  to  Jesus'  tomb.

And  the  glad  tidings  bear , 
Hark,  as  they  soar  on  high. 

What  music  fills  the  air  ! 
Their  anthems  say,  "Jesus,  who  bled, 
Hath  left  the  dead;   He  rose  to-day,"

(  Also  Austrian 

Now  the  iron  bars  are  broken, 

Christ  from  death  to  life  is  born, 

Glorious  life,  and  life  immortal 

On  this  holy  Easter  morn  : 

Christ  has  triumphed,  and  we  conquer 

By  His  mighty  enterprise, 

We  with  Him  to  life  eternal 

By  His  resurrection  rise. 

Christ  is  risen,  Christ  the  first-fruits 
Of  the  holy  harvest  field, 
Which  will  all  its  full  abundance 
At  His  secppd  coming  yield ; 


Hymn,   No.  360.) 


Men  the  golden  ears  of  harvest  — 
Will  their  heads  before  Him  wave, 
Ripened  by  His  glorious  sunshine, 
From  the  furrows  of  the  grave. 

Christ  is  risen  ;  we  are  risen  ! 
Shed  upon  us  heavenly  grace, 
Rain  and  dew  and  gleams  of  glory 
From  the  brightness  of  Thy  face  ; 
That  with  hearts  in  heaven  dwelling, 
We  on  earth  may  fruitful  be. 
And  by  angel  hands  be  gathered, 
And  be  ever,  Lord,  with  Thee.

3  In  the  dreadful  desert,  where  the  Lord  was  tried, 
There  the  faithful  angels  gathered  at  His  side; 
And  when  in  the  garden,  grief  and  pain  and  care 
Bowed  Him  down  with  anguish,  they  were  with  Him  there, 

3  Yet  the  Christ  they  honor  is  the  same  Christ  still, 
Who,  in  light  and  darkness,  did  His  Father's  will; 
And  the  tomb  deserted  shineth  like  the  sky, 
Since  He  passed  out  from  it  into  victory. 

4  God  has  still  His  angels,  helping,  at  His  word. 
All  His  faithful  children,  like  their  faithful  Lord; 
Soothing  them  in  sorrow,  arming  them  in  strife. 
Opening  wide  the  tomb-doors,  leading  into  life.

2  Life  et;ernal!   heaven  rejoices, 
Jesus  lives  who  once  was  dead; 
Join,  O  man,  the  deathless  voices. 
Child  of  God,  lift  up  thy  head! 
Patriarchs  from  distant  ages, 

Saints  all  longing  for  their  heaven; 
Prophets,  psalmists,  seers,  and  sages.

When,  amidst  earth's  closing  thunders, 

Saints  shall  stand  before  the  throne. 
O  to  enter  that  bright  portal. 

See  that  glowing  firmament, 
Know,  with  Thee,  O  God  immortal, 

Jesus  Christ,  whom  Thou  hast  sent.

Dark  hell  flies  in  commotion, 

The  heavens  their  anthems  sing; 
While  far  o'er  earth  and  ocean 

Glad  hallelujahs  ring! 


O  publish  this  salvation. 

Ye  heralds,  through  the  earth, 
To  every  buried  nation 

Proclaim  the  day  of  birth. 
Till,  rising  from  their  slumbers 

In  long  and  ancient  night, 
The  countless  heathen  numbers 

Shall  hail  the  Easter  light.  • 

Hail,  hail,  our  Jesus  risen! 

Sing,  ransomed  brethren,  sing! 
Through  death's  dark,  gloomy  prison 

Let  Easter  chorals  ring.

Accept  your  glad  reprieve; 
Come  forth  from  sin's  dark  regions; 

In  Jesus*  kingdom  live.

He  has  vanquished  sin  and  Satan;

There  we  sit  in  heavenly  places.

The  King  of  kings,  and  Lord  of  lords, 
And  heaven's  eternal  light. 

3  The  joy  of  all  who  dwell  above, 

The  joy  of  all  below. 
To  whom  He  manifests  His  love 
And  grants  His  Name  to  know. 

4  To  them  the  cross  with  all  its  shame, 

With  all  its  grace,  is  given; 


Their  name,  an  everlasting  name, 
Their  joy,  the  joy  of  heaven. 

5  They  suffer  with  their  Lord  below, 

They  reign  with  Him  above, 
Their  profit  and  their  joy  to  know 
The  mystery  of  His  love. 

6  The  cross  He  bore  is  life  and  health, 

Though  shame  and  death  to  Him: 
His  people's  hopes.  His  people's  wealth, 
Their  everlasting  theme.

2  Thou  art  gone  up  before  us.  Lord, 

To  make  for  us  a  place, 
That  we  may  be  where  now  Thou  art 
And  look  upon  Thy  face. 

3  And  ever  on  our  earthly  path 

A  gleam  of  glory  lies, 
A  light  still  breaks  behind  the  cloud 
That  veiled  Thee  from  our  eyes. 


4  Lift  up  our  hearts,  lift  up  our  minds, 

Let  Thy  dear  grace  be  given, 
That  while  we  wander  here  below, 
Our  treasure  be  in  heaven; 

5  That  where  thou  art  at  God' s  right  hand , 

Our  hope,  our  love  may  be : 
Dwell  Thou  in  us,  that  we  may  dwell 
For  evermore  in  Thee.

Repeated  crimes  awake  our  fears,  4 

And  justice,  armed  with  frowns,  appears; 
But  in  the  Sa.viour's  loving  face; 
Sweet  mercy  smiles,  and  all  is  peace. 
Hence,     then,     ye     black     despairing  r 

thoughts; 
Above  our  fears,  above  our  faults, 
His  powerful  intercessions  rise. 
And  guilt  recedes,  and  terror  dies. 


In  every  dark  distressful  hour. 
When  sin  and  Satan  join  their  power. 
Let  this  dear  hope  repel  the  dart, 
That  Jesus  bears  us  on  His  heart. 

Great  Advocate,  almighty  Friend! 
On  Him  our  humble  hopes  depend; 
Our  cause  can  never,  never  fail, 
For  Jesus  pleads,  and  must  prevail.

Hear  our  prayers  Thy  grace  imploring, 

Lift  our  souls  to  Thee  on  high. 


So,  when  Thou  again  in  glory 

On  the  clouds  of  heaven  shalt  shine, 
We,  Thy  flock,  may  stand  before  Thee, 

Owned  for  evermore  as  Thine.

2  Crown  Him,  the  Lord  of  love: 

Behold  His  hands  and  side, 
Rich  wounds,  yet  visible  above 

In  beauty  glorified: 
No  angel  in  the  sky 

Can  fully  bear  that  sight, 
But  downward  bends  his  burning  eye 

At  mysteries  so  bright, 

3  Crown  Him,  the  Lord  of  peace, 

Whose  power  a  sceptre  sways 
From  pole  to  pole,  that  wars  may  cease. 
And  all  be  prayer  and  praise : 


His  reign  shall  know  no  end, 
And  round  His  pierced  feet, 

Fair  flowers  of  Paradise  extend 
Their  fragrance  ever  sweet. 

Crown  Him,  the  Lord  of  heaven. 

One  with  the  Father  known. 
One  with  the  Spirit  through  Him  given 

From  yonder  glorious  throne : 
To  Thee  be  endless  praise, 

For  Thou  for  us  hast  died! 
Be  Thou,  O  Lord,  through  endless  days. 

Adored  and  magnified.

Now  is  crowned  with  glory 

At  His  Father's  side. 
Nevermore  to  suffer, 

Nevermore  to  die, 
Jesus,  King  of  glory. 

Is  gone  up  on  high.

In  that  blessed  place, 
Calling  them  to  glory, 

Sending  them  His  grace;

Faithful  ones,  for  you; 
Jesus  ever  liveth, 

Ever  loveth  too.

There  forever  to  abide; 
All  the  heavenly  hosts  adore  Thee, 

Seated  at  Thy  Father's  side: 
There  for  sinners  Thou  art  pleading; 

There  Thou  dost  our  place  prepare: 
Ever  for  us  interceding, 

Till  in  glory  we  appear.

Thou  art  worthy  to  receive; 
Loudest  praises,  without  ceasing,

Bring  your  sweetest,  noblest  lays; 
Help  to  sing  our  Saviour's  merits; 

Help  to  chant  Immanuel's  praise.

Asking  in  Thy  name  alone; 
He,  in  Thee,  with  love  increasing. 
Gives,  and  glorifies  the  Son.

From  the  Father  Thou  didst  come. 
Seeking  sinners  in  their  blindness, 
Calling  earth's  poor  exiles  home;

Doing  all  the  Father's  will,

4  To  Him  I  owe  my  life  and  breath. 

And  all  the  joys  I  have; 
He  makes  me  triumph  over  death, 
And  saves  me  from  the  grave. 

5  To  heaven,  the  place  of  His  abode, 

He  brings  my  weary  feet; 


Shows  me  the  glories  of  my  God, 
And  makes  my  joys  complete. 

Since  from  His  bounty  I  receive 
Such  proofs  of  love  divine. 

Had  I  a  thousand  hearts  to  give, 
Lord,  they  should  all  be  Thine.

2  Jesus,  hail!   whose  glory  brightens 

All  above,  and  gives  it  worth: 
Lord  of  life.  Thy  smile  enlightens, 

Cheers,   and   charms  Thy    saints 
earth; 
When  we  think  of  love  like  Thine, 
Lord,  we  own  it  love  divine. 

3  King  of  glory,  reign  forever! 

Thine  an  everlasting  crown; 
Nothing  from  Thy  love  shall  sever 


Those  whom  Thou  hast  made  Thine 
own; 
Happy  objects  of  Thy  grace, 
on      Destined  to  behold  Thy  face. 

4  Saviour,  hasten  Thine  appearing; 

Bring,  O  bring  the  glorious  day. 
When,  the  awful  summons  hearing. 

Heaven  and  earth  shall  pass  away, 
Then  with  golden  harps  we'll  sing, 
"Glory,  glory  to  our  King!  "

My  ransom  from  the  dreadful  guilt

And  all  the  forms  of  love  He  wears,

I  would  to  everlasting  days 
Make  all  His  glories  known. 


4  Well,  the  delightful  day  will  come 

When  my  dear  Lord  will  bring  me  home. 

And  I  shall  see  His  face; 
Then  with  my  Saviour,   Brother,   Friend, 
A  blest  eternity  I'll  spend, 

Triumphant  in  His  grace.

They  all  at  Zion's  gates  arrive; 
Those  who  were  dead  in  sin  before. 
By  sovereign  grace  are  made  alive. 

3  Gentiles  and  Jews  His  laws  obey, 

Nations  remote  their  offerings  bring, 
And  unconstrained  their  homage  pay 
To  their  exalted  God  and  King. 


4  O  may  His  holy  Church  increase. 

His  Word  and  Spirit  still  prevail, 
While  angels  celebrate  His  praise. 
And  saints  His  growing  glories  hail. 

5  Loud  hallelujahs  to  the  Lamb, 

From  all  below,  and  all  above; 

In  lofty  songs  exalt  His  name, — 

In  songs  as  lasting  as  His  love.

3  Nations  afar  in  ign' ranee  deep; 

Isles  of  the  sea,  where  darkness  lay; 
These  hear  His  voice,  they  wake  from  sleep, 

And  throng  with  joy  their  upward  way. 
They  cry  with  us,  "Send  forth  Thy  light," 

O  Lamb,  once  slain  for  sinful  men; 
Burst  Satan's  bonds,  O  God  of  might; 

Set  all  men  free!    Amen,  Amen! 

4  Sing  to  the  Lord  a  glorious  song. 

Sing  to  His  name.   His  love  forth  tell; 
Sing  on,  heaven's  hosts,   His  praise  prolong; 

Sing,  ye  who  now  on  earth  do  dwell; 
Worthy  the  Lamb  for  sinners  slain. 

From  angels,  praise;  and  thanks  from  men; 
Worthy  the  Lamb,  enthroned  to  reign. 

Glory  and  power!    Amen,  Amen!

2  We  may  not  climb  the  heavenly  steeps 

To  bring  the  Lord  Christ  down; 
In  vain  we  search  the  lowest  deeps. 
For  Him  no  depths  can  drown :  5 

3  But  warm,  sweet,  tender,  even  yet 

A  present  help  is  He; 
And  faith  has  still  its  Olivet, 
And  love  its  Galilee. 

4  The  healing  of  His  seamless  dress 

Is  by  our  beds  of  pain; 


We  touch  Him  in  life's  throng  and  press. 
And  we  are  whole  again. 

Through  Him  the  first  fond  prayers  are 
Our  lips  of  childhood  frame,       [said 

The  last  low  whispers  of  our  dead 
Are  burdened  with  His  name. 

Our  Lord,  and  Master,  of  us  all, 
Whate'er  our  name  or  sign, 

We  own  Thy  sway,  we  hear  Thy  call, 
We  test  our  lives  by  Thine.

With  all  Thy  quickening  powers; 

Come,  shed  abroad  a  Saviour's  love, 
And  that  shall  kindle  ours.

The  holy  balm  of  peace  and  love 
On  earth  to  shed.

2  O  Holy  Father,  who  hast  led  Thy  children 

In  all  the  ages,  with  the  fire  and  cloud. 
Through  seas  dry-shod,  through  weary  wastes  bewild'ring; 
To  Thee  in  reverent  love  our  hearts  are  bowed. 

3  O  Holy  Jesus,  Prince  of  Peace  and  Saviour, 

To  Thee  we  owe  the  peace  that  still  prevails. 
Stilling  the  rude  wills  of  men's  wild  behavior, 
And  calming  passion's  fierce  and  stormy  gales. 

4  O  Holy  Ghost,  the  Lord  and  the  Life-giver, 

Thine  is  the  quick'ning  power  that  gives  increase; 
From  Thee  have  flowed,  as  from  a  pleasant  river, 
Our  plenty,  wealth,  prosperity  and  peace. 

5  O  Triune  God,  with  heart  and  voice  adoring, 

Praise  we  the  goodness  that  doth  crown  our  daysj 
Pray  we  that  Thou  wilt  hear  us,  still  imploring 
Thy  love  and  favor  kept  to  us  always.

Oft  as  the  precious  seed  is  sown,

But  give  it  root  in  every  heart 

To  bring  forth  fruits  of  love. 

Let  not  the  world's  deceitful  cares

But  let  it  yield  an  hundred  fold 
Return  of  peace  and  joy :

Received  the  gift  divine. 
And  still  that  hght  she  hfteth 

O'er  all  the  earth  to  shine.

Where  gems  of  truth  are  stored; 
It  is  the  heaven-drawn  picture 

Of  Thee,  the  living  Word.

That  o'er  life's  surging  sea, 

'Mid  mists  and  rocks  and  quicksands, 
Still  guides,  O  Christ,  to  Thee. 

O  make  Thy  Church,  dear  Saviour, 

A  lamp  of  burnished  gold, 
To  bear  before  the  nations 

Thy  true  light  as  of  old. 
O  teach  Thy  wandering  pilgrims 

By  this  their  path  to  trace. 
Till,  clouds  and  darkness  ended, 

They  see  Thee  face  to  face.

2  Return,  O  wanderer,  return. 

And  seek  a  Father's  melting  heart; 
His  pitying  eyes  thy  grief  discern, 
His  hand  shall  heal  thine  inward  smart. 

3  Return,  O  wanderer,  return. 

Thy  Saviour  bids  thy  spirit  live; 


Go  to  His  bleeding  feet,  and  learn 
How  freely  Jesus  can  forgive. 

Return,  O  wanderer,  return, 
And  wipe  away  the  falling  tear: 

'Tis  God  who  says,  "No  longer  mourn." 
'Tis  mercy's  voice  invites  thee  near.

Glad  are  the  homes  that  sorrows  never  dim;

Look  thy  doubts  and  cares  away.

Numbered  with  transgressors  see.

Ere  I  can  by  faith  be  healed;

2  God  calling  yet!  shall  I  not  rise? 
Can  I  His  loving  voice  despise  ? 
He  calls  us  still;   can  I  delay, 
And  basely  His  kind  care  repay? 

3  God  calling  yet!   and  shall  He  knock, 
And  I  my  heart  the  closer  lock  ? 

He  still  is  waiting  to  receive. 
And  shall  I  dare  His  Spirit  grieve  ? 


4  God  calling  yet!  and  shall  I  give 
No  heed,  but  still  in  bondage  live? 
I  wait,  but  He  does  not  forsake; 
He  calls  me  still;   my  heart,  awake! 

5  God  calling  yet!   I  cannot  stay; 
My  heart  I  yield  without  delay: 

Vain  world,  farewell!   from  thee  I  part; 
The  voice  of  God  hath  reached  my  heart.

2  There's  a  wideness  in  God's  mercy, 

Like  the  wideness  of  the  sea; 
There's  a  kindness  in  His  justice, 

Which  is  more  than  liberty. 
There  is  welcome  for  the  sinner. 

And  more  graces  for  the  good; 
There  is  mercy  with  the  Saviour, 

There  is  healing  in  His  blood. 

3  For  the  love  of  God  is  broader 

Than  the  measure  of  man's  mind, 
And  the  heart  of  the  Eternal 
Is  most  wonderfully  kind. 


But  we  make  His  love  too  narrow 
By  false  limits  of  our  own, 

And  we  magnify  His  strictness 
With  a  zeal  He  will  not  own. 

There  is  plentiful  redemption 

In  the  blood  that  has  been  shed; 
There  is  joy  for  all  the  members 

In  the  sorrows  of  their  Head. 
If  our  love  were  but  more  simple. 

We  would  take  Him  at  His  word. 
And  our  lives  would  be  all  sunshine 

In  the  sweetness  of  our  Lord.

Simply  to  Thy  cross  I  cling; 
Naked,  come  to  Thee  for  dress; 
Helpless,  look  to  Thee  for  grace; 
Vile,  I  to  the  fountain  fly; 
Wash  me,  Saviour,  or  I  die. 


4  While  I  draw  this  fleeting  breath. 
When  mine  eyelids  close  in  death. 
When  I  soar  to  worlds  unknown, 
See  Thee  on  Thy  judgment  throne, 
Rock  of  Ages,  cleft  for  me 
Let  me  hide  myself  in  Thee.

2  My  sins,  my  sins,  my  Saviour! 

How  sad  on  Thee  they  fall; 
Seen  through  Thy  gentle  patience, 

I  tenfold  feel  them  all; 
I  know  they  are  forgiven, 

But  still  their  pain  to  me 
Is  all  the  grief  and  anguish 

They  laid,  my  Lord,  on  Thee. 

3  My  sins,  my  sins,  my  Saviour! 

Their  guilt  I  never  knew 

Till,  with  Thee,  in  the  desert 

I  near  Thy  passion  drew; 


Till,  with  Thee,  in  the  garden 
I  heard  Thy  pleading  prayer. 

And  saw  the  sweat-drops  bloody 
That  told  Thy  sorrow  there. 

4  Therefore  my  songs,  my  Saviour, 

E'en  in  this  time  of  woe. 
Shall  tell  of  all  Thy  goodness 

To  suffering  man  below; 
Thy  goodness  and  Thy  favor, 

Whose  presence  from  above 
Rejoice  those  hearts,  my  Saviour, 

That  live  in  Thee  and  love.

For  grace  to  turn  indeed.

To  tell  my  every  trial. 

And  all  my  sorrows  share.

And  hope  to  see  Thee  soon. 
Encircled  with  the  rainbow 

And  seated  on  Thy  throne.

Lies  silent  in  the  grave.  [tongue

3  O  to  grace  how  great  a  debtor 

Daily  I'm  constrained  to  be! 
Let  that  grace  now,  like  a  fetter, 

Bind  my  wandering  heart  to  Thee. 
Prone  to  wander,  Lord,  I  feel  it; 

Prone  to  leave  the  God  I  love; 
Here's  my  heart;   O  take  and  seal  it, 

Seal  it  from  Thy  courts  above. 

Robert  Robinson,  1758

2  Here  I  raise  my  Ebenezer; 

Hither  by  Thy  help  I'm  come; 
And  I  hope,  by  Thy  good  pleasure, 

Safely  to  arrive  at  home. 
Jesus  sought  me  when  a  stranger, 

Wandering  from  the  fold  of  God; 
He,  to  rescue  me  from  danger, 

Interposed  with  precious  blood.

Care,  anguish,  sorrow,  melt  away. 
Where'er  its  healing  beams  arise. 


3  O  let  Thy  love  my  soul  inflame, 

And  to  Thy  service  sweetly  bind. 
Transfuse  it  through  my  inmost  frame, 
And  mould  me  wholly  to  Thy  mind. 
4  Thy  love,   in  suffering,   be  my  peace; 

Thy  love,    in  weakness,   make  me  strong; 
And  when  the  storms  of  life  shall  cease. 
Thy  love  shall  be,  in  heaven,  my  song.

I  yield  my  flick' ring  torch  to  Thee; 
My  heart  restores  its  borrowed  ray, 
That  in  Thy  sunshine's  blaze  its  day 
May  brighter,  fairer  be.

That  morn  shall  tearless  be.

I  dare  not  ask  to  fly  from  Thee;

And  from  the  ground  there  blossoms  red 
Life  that  shall  endless  be.

2  When  shall  I  see  Thy  smiling  face,  4 

Which  I,  throughfaith,  have  often  seen? 
Arise,  Thou  Sun  of  righteousness 
Dispel  the  clouds  that  intervene. 

3  Thou  art  the  glorious  gift  of  God,  5 

To  sinners  weary  and  distressed. 
The  first  of  all  His  gifts  bestowed, 
And  certain  pledge  of  all  the  rest. 


Could  I  but  say,  this  gift  is  mine, 
I'd  tread  the  world  beneath  my  feet, 

No  more  at  pain  or  want  repine, 
Nor  envy  the  rich  sinner's  state. 

This  precious  jewel  let  me  keep, 

And  lodge  it  deep  within  my  heart; 

At  home,  abroad,  awake,  asleep, 
It  never  shall  from  thence  depart.

He  rejoices  in  the  same; 
Still  He  calls  them  brethren,  friends, 
And  to  all  their  wants  attends. 

O  for  grace  our  hearts  to  soften ! 

Teach  us,  Lord,  at  length  to  love; 
We,  alas!   forget  too  often 

What  a  Friend  we  have  above; 
But  when  home  our  souls  are  brought, 
We  will  love  Thee  as  we  ought.

Could  or  would  have  shed  his  blood? 
But  our  Jesus  died  to  have  us 

Reconciled  in  Him  to  God: 
This  was  boundless  love  indeed; 
Jesus  is  a  friend  in  need.

"Friend  of  sinners,"  was  His  name;

2  Take  my  poor  heart,  and  let  it  be 
Forever  closed  to  all  but  Thee; 

Seal  Thou  my  breast,  and  let  me  wear 
That  pledge  of  love  forever  there. 

3  How  blest  are  they  who  still  abide 
Close  sheltered  in  Thy  bleeding  side. 
Who    thence   their   life   and   strength 

derive, 
And  by  Thee  move  and  in  Thee  live.

Thou   giv'st    the    power,   the  grace  to 

move; 
O  wondrous  grace!   O  boundless  love! 

How  can  it  be,  Thou  heavenly  King, 
That  Thou  shouldst  us  to  glory  bring, 
Make  slaves  the  partners  of  Thy  throne, 
Decked  with  a  never  fading  crown? 

Hence  our  hearts  melt,  our  eyes  o'erflovv, 
Our  words  are  lost;  nor  will  we  know 
Nor  will  we  think  of  aught  beside,

2  I  will  praise  Thee,  Sun  of  glory! 

For  Thy  beams  have  gladness  brought; 
I  will  praise  Thee, — will  adore  Thee, 

For  the  light  I  vainly  sought : 
Will  praise  Thee  that  Thy  words  so  blest 
Spoke  my  sin-sick  soul  to  rest. 


4  Be  my  heart  more  warmly  glowing, 
Sweet  and  calm  the  tears  I  shed; 
And  its  love,  its  ardor  showing. 

Let  my  spirit  onward  tread; 
Still  near  to  Thee,  and  nearer  still. 
Draw  this  heart,  this  mind,  this  will. 


3  In  Thy  footsteps  now  uphold  me. 
That  I  stumble  not  nor  stray; 
When  the  narrow  way  is  told  me, 

Never  let  me  lingering  stay, 
But  come,  my  weary  soul  to  cheer, 
Shine,  eternal  Sunbeam,  here. 


5  I  will  love,  in  joy  and  sorrow! 

Crowning  joy!   will  love  Thee  well! 
I  will  love,  to-day,  to-morrow, 

While  I  in  this  body  dwell : 
Oh!   I  will  love  Thee,  Light  divine, 
Till  I  die  and  find  Thee  mine!

My  heart  is  weak  and  poor 

Until  it  master  find; 
It  has  no  spring  of  action  sure, 

It  varies  with  the  wind : 
It  cannot  freely  move 

Till  Thou  hast  wrought  its  chain; 
Enslave  it  with  Thy  matchless  love, 

And  deathless  it  shall  reign. 

My  power  is  faint  and  low 
Till  I  have  learned  to  serve, 

It  wants  the  needed  fire  to  glow, 
It  wants  the  breeze  to  nerve : 


It  cannot  drive  the  world 

Until  itself  be  driven: 
Its  flag  can  only  be  unfurled 

When  Thou  shalt  breathe  from  heaven. 

My  will  is  not  my  own 

Till  Thou  hast  made  it  Thine; 
If  it  would  reach  a  monarch's  throne 

It  must  its  crown  resign : 
It  only  stands  unbent 

Amid  the  clashing  strife, 
When  on  Thy  bosom  it  has  leant. 

And  found  in  Thee  its  life.

Jesus,  too  late  I  Thee  have  sought: 
How  can  I  love  Thee  as  I  ought  ? 
And  how  extol  Thy  matchless  fame, 
The  glorious  beauty  of  Thy  name  ? 
Jesus,  my  Lord,  I  Thee  adore : 
O  make  me  love  Thee  more  and  more. 


3  Jesus,  what  didst  Thou  find  in  me, 
That  Thou  hast  dealt  so  lovingly? 
How'greatthejoy  that  Thou  hast  brought, 
So  far  exceeding  hope  or  thought. 
Jesus,  my  Lord,  I  Thee  adore : 
O  make  me  love  Thee  more  and  more. 


Jesus,   of  Thee  shall  be  my  song. 

To  Thee  my  heart  and  soul  belong: 

All  that  I  have  or  am  is  Thine, 

And  Thou,  blest  Saviour,   Thou  art  mine. 

Jesus,  my  Lord,  I  Thee  adore: 

O  make  me  love  Thee  more  and  more.

In  the  hour  of  pain. 
Surer  yet  and  surer

And  to  God  subduing

3   Higher  yet  and  higher 

Out  of  clouds  and  night, 
Nearer  yet  and  nearer 

Rising  to  the  light; 
Light  serene  and  holy, 

Where  my  soul  may  rest, 
Purified  and  lowly, 

Sanctified  and  blest. 


4  Swifter  yet  and  swifter 

Ever  onward  run, 
Firmer  yet  and  firmer 

Step  as  I  go  on: 
Oft  these  earnest  longings 

Swell  within  my  breast. 
Yet  their  inner  meaning 

Ne'er  can  be  expressed.

2  Days  of  toil,  'mid  throngs  of  men. 
Vexed  not,  ruffled  not  Thy  soul; 
Still  collected,  calm,  serene, 
Thou  each  feeling  couldst  control : 
Lord,  that  mind  which  was  in  Thee, 
May  be,  must  be  formed  in  me. 

3  Though  such  griefs  were  Thine  to  bear, 
For  each  sufferer  Thou  could 'st  feel; 
Every  mourner's  burden  share.

Be  Thou  my  Shield  and  Hiding-place, 

That,  sheltered  near  Thy  side, 
I  may  my  fierce  accuser  face, 

And  tell  him.  Thou  hast  died. 
O  wondrous  love!  to  bleed  and  die, 

To  bear  the  cross  and  shame 
That  guilty  sinners,  such  as  I, 

Might  plead  Thy  gracious  name. 

John  Newton,  1779 
"  Greatorex  Collection,"  1 85 1 

J— I- 


Thy  promise  is  my  only  plea, 

With  this  I  venture  nigh; 
Thou  callest  burdened  souls  to  Thee, 

And  such,  O  Lord,  am  I. 
Bowed  down  beneath  a  load  of  sin. 

By  Satan  sorely  pressed, 
By  war  without,  and  fear  within, 

I  come  to  Thee  for  rest.

3  Prayer  is  the  burden  of  a  sigh, 
The  falling  of  a  tear. 
The  upward  glancing  of  an  eye. 
When  none  but  God  is  near. 


4  Prayer  is  the  contrite  sinner's  voice 
Returning  from  his  ways, 
While  angels  in  their  songs  rejoice, 
And  cry,  "Behold  he  prays!  " 


3  Prayer  is  the  simplest  form  of  speech  5  Prayer  is  the  Christian's  vital  breath, 

That  infant  lips  can  try;  The  Christian's  native  air, 

Prayer  the  sublimest  strains  that  reach  His  watchword  at  the  gates  of  death; 

The  Majesty  on  high,  He  enters  heaven  with  prayer.

AVhere  heavenly  pasture  grows, 
AVhere  living  waters  gently  pass, 
And  full  salvation  flows. 

3  If  e'er  I  go  astray, 

He  doth  my  soul  reclaim. 
And   guides  me   in    His  own  right

For  His  most  holy  name. 

4  While  He  affords  His  aid 

I  cannot  yield  to  fear; 


Though  I  should  walk  through  death's

My  Shepherd's  with  me  there. 

Amid  surrounding  foes 

Thou  dost  my  table  spread; 

My  cup  with  blessings  overflows, 
And  joy  exalts  my  head. 

The  bounties  of  Thy  love 

Shall  crown  my  following  days; 

Nor  from  Thy  house  will  I  remove, 
Nor  cease  to  speak  Thy  praise.

1  Though  faint,   yet  pursuing,  we  go  on  our  way; 
The  Lord  is  our  Leader,   His  word  is  our  stay; 
Though  suffering,  and  sorrow,  and  trial  be  near. 
The  Lord  is  our  Refuge,  and  whom  can  we  fear? 

2  He  raiseth  the  fallen.   He  cheereth  the  faint; 

The  weak  and  oppressed,  He  will  hear  their  complaint; 
The  way  may  be  weary,  and  thorny  the  road. 
But  how  can  we  falter?   our  help  is  in  God. 

3  And  to  His  green  pastures  our  footsteps  He  leads; 
His  flock  in  the  desert  how  kindly  He  feeds! 
The  lambs  in  His  bosom  He  tenderly  bears, 

And  brings  back  the  wanderers  all  safe  from  the  snares. 

4  Though  clouds  may  surround  us,  our  God  is  our  Light; 
Though  storms  rage  around  us,  our  God  is  our  Might; 
So  faint,  yet  pursuing,  still  onward  we  come; 

The  Lord  is  our  Leader,  and  heaven  is  our  home.

2  Open  Thou  the  crystal  fountain. 
Whence  the  healing  streams  do  flow; 
Let  the  fiery  cloudy  pillar 
Lead  me  all  my  journey  through: 

Strong  Deliverer, 
Be  Thou  still  my  strength  and  shield. 


3  When  I  tread  the  verge  of  Jordan; 
Bid  my  anxious  fears  subside; 
Bear  me  through  the  swelling  current; 
Land  me  safe  on  Canaan's  side: 

Songs  of  praises 
I  will  ever  give  to  Thee.

2  Lead  us,   O  Father,   in  the  paths  of  truth: 

Unhelped  by  Thee,   in  error's  maze  we  grope. 
While  passion  stains  and  folly  dims  our  youth, 
And  age  comes  on  uncheered  by  faith  or  hope. 

3  Lead  us,  O  Father,   in  the  paths  of  right: 

Blindly  we  stumble  when  we  walk  alone, 
Involved  in  shadows  of  a  darkening  night; 
Only  with  Thee  we   journey  safely  on. 

4  Lead  us,   O  Father,   to  Thy  heavenly  rest, 

However  rough  and  steep  the  path  may  be; 
Through  joy  or  sorrow,  as  Thou  deemest  best. 
Until  our  lives  are  perfected  in  Thee.

In  holy  contemplation, 

We  sweetly  then  pursue 
The  theme  of  God's  salvation, 

And  find  it  ever  new; 
Set  free  from  present  sorrow, 

We  cheerfully  can  say, 
Let  the  unknown  to-morrow 

Bring  with  it  what  it  may. 

It  can  bring  with  it  nothing. 
But  He  will  bear  us  through; 

Who  gives  the  lilies  clothing, 
Will  clothe  His  people  too; 

19 


Beneath  the  spreading  heavens. 

No  creature  but  is  fed; 
And  He  who  feeds  the  ravens, 

Will  give  His  children  bread. 

Though  vine  nor  fig-tree  neither 

Their  wonted  fruit  shall  bear, 
Though  all  the  field  shall  wither, 

Nor  flocks  nor  herds  be  there; 
Yet  God  the  same  abiding. 

His  praise  shall  tune  my  voice, 
For,  while  in  Him  confiding, 

I  cannot  but  rejoice.

More  than  all  in  Thee  I  find; 
Raise  the  fallen,  cheer  the  faint, 
Heal  the  sick,  and  lead  the  blind, 


Just  and  holy  is  Thy  name; 

I  am  all  unrighteousness; 
False  and  full  of  sin  I  am, 

Thou  art  full  of  truth  and  grace. 

4  Plenteous  grace  with  Thee  is  found, 

Grace  to  cover  all  my  sin; 
Let  the  healing  streams  abound; 

Make  and  keep  me  pure  within. 
Thou  of  life  the  fountain  art, 

Freely  let  me  take  of  Thee; 
Spring  Thou  up  within  my  heart; 

Rise  to  all  eternity.

And  fall  in  fatal  snares; 
Since  God  my  guard  and  guide, 

Defends  me  from  my  fears.  a 

Those  wakeful  eyes  that  never  sleep. 
Shall  Israel  keep  when  dangers  rise. 
No  burning  heats  by  day. 

Nor  blasts  of  evening  air. 
Shall  take  my  health  away, 


If  God  be  with  me  there : 
Thou  art  my  Sun,  and  Thou,  my  Shade, 
To  guard  my  head  by  night  or  noon. 
Hast  Thou  not  given  Thy  word 

To  save  my  soul  from  death? 
And  I  can  trust  my  Lord 

To  keep  my  mortal  breath : 
I'll  go  and  come,  nor  fear  to  die. 
Till  from  on  high  Thou  call  me  home.

1  Thy  way,  not  mine,  O  Lord, 

However  dark  it  be! 
Lead  me  by  Thine  own  hand; 

Choose  out  the  path  for  me. 
I  dare  not  choose  my  lot; 

I  would  not,  if  I  might; 
Choose  Thou  for  me,  my  God, 

So  shall  I  walk  aright. 

2  The  kingdom  that  I  seek 

Is  Thine :  so  let  the  way 
That  leads  to  it  be  Thine, 
Else  I  must  surely  stray. 


Take  Thou  my  cup,  and  it 

With  joy  or  sorrow  fill, 
As  best  to  Thee  may  seem; 

Choose  Thou  my  good  and  ill. 
Choose  Thou  for  me  my  friends, 

My  sickness,  or  my  health; 
Choose  Thou  my  cares  for  me. 

My  poverty  or  wealth. 
Not  mine,  not  mine  the  choice. 

In  things  or  great,  or  small; 
Be  Thou  my  Guide,  my  Strength, 

My  Wisdom,  and  my  all.

3  O  make  but  trial  of  His  love; 

Experience  will  decide, 
How  blest  are  they,  and  only  they. 

Who  in  His  truth  confide. 
Fear  Him,  ye  saints,  and  ye  will  then 

Have  nothing  else  to  fear; 
Make  ye  His  service  your  delight; 

He'll  make  your  wants  His  care.

Though  dark  my  path,  and  sad  my  lot,  5  If  but  my  fainting  heart  be  blest 

Let  me  be  still  and  murmur  not,  With  Thy  sweet  Spirit  for  its  guest, 

Or  breathe  the  prayer  divinely  taught,  My  God,  to  Thee  I  leave  the  rest; 

"Thy  will  be  done!  "  "Thy  will  be  dope!  " 


3  What  though  in  lonely  grief  I  sigh 
For  friends  beloved,  no  longer  nigh, 
Submissive  still  would  I  reply, 

"Thy  will  be  done!  " 

4  If  Thou  should' St  call  me  to  resign 
What  most  I  prize,  it  ne'er  was  mine; 
I  only  yield  Thee  what  is  Thine: 

"Thy  will  be  done!  " 


6  Renew  my  will  from  day  to  day. 
Blend  it  with  Thine,  and  take  away 
All  that  now  makes  it  hard  to  say, 

"Thy  will  be  done!  " 

7  Then,  when  on  earth  I  breathe  no  more 
The  prayer  oft  mixed  with  tears  before, 
I'll  sing  upon  a  happier  shore, 

"Thy  will  be  done!  "

2  Thine  for  ever  !     Lord  of  life. 
Shield  us  through  our  earthly  strife  ; 
Thou,  the  Life,  the  Truth,  the  Way, 
Guide  us  to  the  realms  of  day. 

3  Thine  for  ever  !   O  how  blest 
They  who  find  in  Thee  their  rest ! 


Saviour,  Guardian,  heavenly  Friend, 
O  defend  us  to  the  end. 
4  Thine  forever!       Thou  our  Guide, 
All  our  wants  by  Thee  supplied. 
All  our  sins  by  Thee  forgiven, 
Lead  us,  Lord,  from  earth  to  heaven.

And  sanctify  to  thee  thy  deepest  distress. 

"When  through  fiery  trials  thy  pathway  shall  lie, 

My  grace,  all-sufficient,  shall  be  thy  supply; 

The  flame  shall  not  hurt  thee;  I  only  design 

Thy  dross  to  consume,  and  thy  gold  to  refine. 

'  'The  soul  that  on  Jesus  hath  leaned  for  repose,

I'll  never,  no  never,  no  never  forsake."

2  While  looking  to  Jesus  my  heart  cannot  fear; 
I  tremble  no  more  when  I  see  Jesus  near; 

I  know  that  His  presence  my  safeguard  will  be, 
For,   "Why  are  ye  troubled?"   He  saith  unto  me. 

3  Still  looking  to  Jesus,   O  may  I  be  found, 
When  Jordan's  dark  waters  encompass  me  round: 
They  bear  me  away  in  His  presence  to  be; 

I  see  Him  still  nearer,  whom  always  I  see. 

4  Then,  then  shall  I  know  the  full  beauty  and  grace 
Of  Jesus,  my  Lord,  when  I  stand  face  to  face; 
Shall  know  how  His  love  went  before  me  each  day, 
And  wonder  that  ever  my  eyes  turned  away. 

John  N.  Darby,  1878

4  Peace,   perfect  peace,  with  loved  ones  far  away  ? 
In  Jesus'   keeping  we  are  safe,  and  they. 

5  Peace,   perfect  peace,  our  future  all  unknown  ? 
Jesus  we  know,  and  He  is  on  the  throne. 

6  Peace,  perfect  peace,  death  shadowing  us  and  ours? 
Jesus  has  vanquished  death  and  all  its  powers. 

7  It  is  enough;  earth's  struggles  soon  shall  cease. 
And  Jesus  call  us  to  heaven's  perfect  peace.

Beside  the  Syrian  sea,  Our  words  and  works  that  drown 

The  gracious  calling  of  the  Lord,  The  tender  whisper  of  Thy  call. 

Let  us,  like  them,  without  a  word  As  noiseless  let  Thy  blessing  fall 

Rise  up  and  follow  Thee.  As  fell  Thy  manna  down. 


3  O  Sabbath  rest  by  Galilee!  5  Drop  Thy  still  dews  of  quietness, 

O  calm  of  hills  above,  Till  all  our  strivings  cease : 

Where  Jesus  knelt  to  share  with  Thee  Take  from  our  souls  the  strain  and  stress, 

The  silence  of  eternity.  And  let  our  ordered  lives  confess 

Interpreted  by  love.  The  beauty  of  Thy  peace. 


6  Breathe  through  the  pulses  of  desire 
Thy  coolness  and  Thy  balm; 
Let  sense  be  dumb,  its  heats  expire : 
Speak  through  the  earthquake,  wind,  and  fire,

Come,  thou  Spirit  of  pure  love, 

Who  didst  forth  from  God  proceed, 

Never  from  my  heart  remove; 
Let  me  all  Thy  impulse  heed;

Moved,  controlled,  inspired  by  Thee.

On  the  poor  in  charity, 
Though  I  shrink  not  from  the  grave,

All  shall  profitless  be  found.

1  "Take  up  thy  cross,"  the  Saviour  said, 

"If  thou  wouldst  My  disciple  be; 
Take  up  thy  cross  with  willing  heart 
And  humbly  follow  after  Me. ' ' 

2  Take  up  thy  cross,  let  not  its  weight 

Fill  thy  weak  soul  with  vain  alarm; 
His  strength  shall  bear  thy  spirit  up. 
And  brace  thy  heart,  and  nerve  thme 
arm. 

3  Take  up  thy  cross,  nor  heed  the  shame; 

And  let  thy  foolish  pride  be  still; 


Thy  Lord  refused  not  ev'n  to  die 
Upon  a  cross,  on  Calvary's  hill. 

Take    up     thy    cross,     then    in     His 
strength. 

And  calmly  every  danger  brave; 
'Twill  guide  thee  to  a  better  home, 

It  points  to  glory  o'er  the  grave. 
Take  up  thy  cross,  and  follow  on. 

Nor  think  till  death  to  lay  it  down; 
For  only  he  who  bears  the  cross 

May  hope  to  wear  the  glorious  crown.

When  they  hear  the  battle-cry,

To  their  zeal  Thy  wisdom  lend.

Ere  the  victory  be  won,

2  Let  the  world  despise  and  leave  me. 

They  have  left  my  Saviour,  too; 
Human  hearts  and  looks  deceive  me. 

Thou  art  not,  like  man,  untrue; 
And  while  Thou  shalt  smile  upon  me, 

God  of  wisdom,  love,  and  might. 
Foes  may  hate,  and  friends  may  shun  me. 

Show  Thy  face  and  all  is  bright. 

3  Man  may  trouble  and  distress  me, 

'Twill  but  drive  me  to  Thy  breast; 
Life  with  trials  hard  may  press  me, 
Heaven  will  bring  me  sweeter  rest. 


O  'tis  not  in  grief  to  harm  me. 
While  Thy  love  is  left  to  me; 

0  'twere  not  in  joy  to  charm  me, 
Were  that  joy  unmixed  with  Thee. 

Go  then,  earthly  fame  and  treasure! 

Come  disaster,  scorn,  and  pain! 
In  Thy  service,  pain  is  pleasure; 

With  Thy  favor,  loss  is  gain. 

1  have  called  Thee,  Abba,  Father; 

I  have  stayed  my  heart  on  Thee: 
Storms  may  howl,  and  clouds  may  gather, 
All  must  work  for  good  to  me.

2  As  of  old  apostles  heard  it                        4  In  our  joys  and  in  our  sorrows, 

By  the  GaHlean  lake.  Days  of  toil  and  hours  of  ease, 

Turned  from  home  and  toil  and  kindred,  Still  He  calls,  in  cares  and  pleasures, 

Leaving  all  for  His  dear  sake.  "Christian,  love  Me  more  than  these, 


3  Jesus  calls  us  from  the  worship 

Of  the  vain  world's  golden  store, 
From  each  idol  that  would  keep  us. 
Saying,  "Christian,  love  Me  more.

2  Ashamed  of  Jesus!  sooner  far 
Let  evening  blush  to  own  a  star: 
He  sheds  the  beams  of  light  divine 
O'er  this  benighted  soul  of  mine. 

3  Ashamed  of  Jesus!  just  as  soon 
Let  midnight  be  ashamed  of  noon; 
'Tis  midnight  with  my  soul  till  He, 
Bright  Morning  Star,  bid  darkness  flee. 


Ashamed  of  Jesus!   that  dear  Friend 
On  whom  my  hopes  of  heaven  depend! 
No;   when  I  blush,  be  this  my  shame. 
That  I  no  more  revere  His  name. 

Ashamed  of  Jesus!   yes,  I  may 
When  I've  no  guilt  to  wash  away, 
No  tears  to  wipe,  no  good  to  crave. 
No  fears  to  quell,  no  soul  to  save. 


6  Till  then,  nor  is  my  boasting  vain, 
Till  then  I  boast  a  Saviour  slain; 
And  O  may  this  my  glory  be, 
That  Christ  is  not  ashamed  of  me.

2  Jesus,  I  die  to  Thee, 

Whenever  death  shall  come; 
To  die  in  Thee  is  life  to  me 
In  my  eternal  home. 


3  Whether  to  live  or  die, 

I  know  not  which  is  best; 
To  live  in  Thee  is  bliss  to  me, 
To  die  is  endless  rest. 


Living  or  dying.  Lord, 
I  ask  but  to  be  Thine; 

My  life  in  Thee,  Thy  life  in  me, 
Makes  heaven  forever  mine.

The  tempting  sounds  I  hear: 
My  foes  are  ever  near  me, 

Around  me  and  within; 
But,  Jesus,  draw  Thou  nearer. 

And  shield  my  soul  from  sin. 

3  O  let  me  hear  Thee  speaking 

In  accents  clear  and  still; 

Above  the  storms  of  passion, 

The  murmurs  of  self-will: 


O  speak  to  reassure  me. 
To  hasten  or  control; 

O  speak,  and  make  me  listen. 
Thou  Guardian  of  my  soul. 

O  Jesus,  Thou  hast  promised 

To  all  who  follow  Thee, 
That  where  Thou  art  in  glory 

There  shall  Thy  servant  be; 
And,  Jesus,  I  have  promised

Night  shall  end  in  day. 

"Well  I  know  thy  trouble,

Watch  and  pray  and  fast.

2  The  martyr  first,  whose  eagle  eye 

Could  pierce  beyond  the  grave. 
Who  saw  his  Master  in  the  sky, 

And  called  on  Him  to  save: 
Like  Him,  with  pardon  on  his  tongue 

In  midst  of  mortal  pain. 
He  prayed  for  them  that  did  the  wrong: 

Who  follows  in  his  train? 

3  A  glorious  band,  the  chosen  few 

On  whom  the  Spirit  came,       [knew 
Twelve  valiant  saints,  their  hope  they 
And  mocked  the  cross  and  flame: 


They  met  the  tyrant's  brandished  steel, 
The  lion's  gory  mane;  [feel: 

They  bowed  their  necks  the  death  to 
Who  follows  in  their  train  ? 

A  noble  army,  men  and  boys, 

The  matron  and  the  maid, 
Around  the  Saviour's  throne  rejoice, 

In  robes  of  light  arrayed: 
They  climbed  the  steep  ascent  of  heaven, 

Through  peril,  toil,  and  pain; 
O  God,  to  us  may  grace  be  given 

To  follow  in  their  train.

2  Go  forward,  Christian  soldier. 

Fear  not  the  secret  foe; 
Far  more  o'er  thee  are  watching 

Than  human  eyes  can  know, 
Trust  only  Christ,  thy  Captain, 

Cease  not  to  watch  and  pray; 
Heed  not  the  treacherous  voices, 

That  lure  thy  soul  astray. 

3  Go  forward.  Christian  soldier, 

Nor  dream  of  peaceful  rest, 

Till  Satan's  host  is  vanquished 

And  heaven  is  all  possessed; 


Till  Christ  Himself  shall  call  thee 

To  lay  thine  armor  by, 
And  wear  in  endless  glory 

The  crown  of  victory. 

Go  forward,  Christian  soldier. 

Fear  not  the  gathering  night; 
The  Lord  has  been  thy  shelter, 

The  Lord  will  be  thy  light. 
When  morn  His  face  revealeth, 

Thy  dangers  all  are  past; 
O  pray  that  faith  and  virtue 

May  keep  thee  to  the  last.

See  Thy  children  meet: 
Often  have  we  left  Thee, 

Often  gone  astray; 
Keep  us,  mighty  Saviour, 

In  the  narrow  way. 

3  All  our  days  direct  us 

In  the  way  we  go. 
Lead  us  on  victorious 
Over  every  foe : 


Bid  Thine  angels  shield  us, 
When  the  storm-clouds  lower; 

Pardon,  Lord,  and  save  us 
In  the  last  dread  hour. 

4  Then  with  saints  and  angels 
May  we  join  above. 
Offering  prayers  and  praises 

At  Thy  throne  of  love; 
When  the  toil  is  over, 

Then  comes  rest  and  peace, 
Jesus  in  His  beauty. 
Songs  that  never  cease.

2  Subtle  foes  are  lurking 

Deep  your  hearts  within, 
There  first  wage  the  battle 

With  the  power  of  sin. 
O'er  the  sight  and  hearing, 

Touch,  and  taste,  and  smell, 
Let  a  watch,  good  Christians, 

Guard  those  portals  well. 

3  Satan,  through  the  senses. 

Seeks  your  souls  to  slay, 
Let  no  secret  traitor, 
Jesus'  cause  betray. 


If  to  lusts  enticing 
Ye  betray  your  heart. 

Can  ye  bid  the  devil. 
And  the  world  depart  ? 

4  By  the  signs  upon  you. 
By  Christ's  life  within, 
Close  in  deadly  conflict 

With  each  pleasant  sin. 
Jesus'    eye  is  on  you, 

Keep  your  solemn  vow; 
Then  a  crown  immortal 
Shall  adorn  your  brow.

Hold  thee  in  full  survey;

And  onward  urge  thy  way. 

'Tis  God's  all-animating  voice 
That  calls  thee  from  on  high; 

'Tis  His  own  hand  presents  the  prize 
To  thine  aspiring  eye. 


That  prize  with  peerless  glories  bright, 
Which  shall  new  lustre  boast,  [  gems 

When  victors'  wreaths  and  monarchs' 
Shall  blend  in  common  dust. 

Blest  Saviour,  introduced  by  Thee, 

Have  I  my  race  begun; 
And  crowned  with  victory,  at  Thy  feet 

I'll  lay  my  honors  down.

Our  helmet  is  His  salvation. 
Our  banner,  the  cross  of  Calvary, 
Our  watchword,  the  Incarnation. 

3  And  the  choir  of  angels  with  song  awaits 

Our  march  to  the  golden  Zion; 
For  our  Captain  has  broken  the  brazen  gates, 
And  burst  the  bars  of  iron.

With  the  banner  of  Christ  before  us, 
With  His  eye  of  love  looking  down  from  above,

Through  mighty  hosts  of  cruel  foes, 
Where  earth  and  hell  my  way  oppose.

In  robes  of  victory  through  the  skies,

March  in  heavenly  armor  clad; 
Fight,  nor  think  the  battle  long, 
Soon  shall  victory  tune  your  song. 
Let  not  sorrow  dim  your  eye, 
Soon  shall  every  tear  be  dry;

Let  not  fears  your  course  impede. 
Great  your  strength,  if  great  your  need. 
Onward  then  to  battle  move. 
More  than  conquerors  ye  shall  prove; 
Though  opposed  by  many  a  foe. 
Christian  soldiers,  onward  go.

Who  in  the  strength  of  Jesus  trusts. 

Is  more  than  conqueror. 
Stand,  then,  in  His  great  might, 

With  all  His  strength  endued, 
And  take,  to  arm  you  for  the  fight, 

The  panoply  of  God; 


4  That,  having  all  things  done. 

And  all  your  conflicts  past, 
Ye  may  o'ercome  through  Christ  alone, 
And  stand  entire  at  last. 

5  From  strength  to  strength  go  on; 

Wrestle,  and  fight,  and  pray; 
Tread  all  the  powers  of  darkness  down. 
And  win  the  well- fought  day.

2  Never  flinched  they  from  the  flame. 

From  the  torture,  never; 
Vain  the  foeman's  sharpest  aim, 

Satan's  best  endeavor: 
For  by  faith  they  saw  the  land 

Decked  in  all  its  glory, 
Where  triumphant  now  they  stand 

With  the  victor's  story. 


3  Faith  they  had  that  knew  not  shame. 

Love  that  could  not  languish. 
And  eternal  hope  o'ercame 

That  one  moment's  anguish. 
Up  and  follow.  Christian  men! 

Press  through  toil  and  sorrow! 
Spurn  the  night  of  fear,  and  then, 

O  the  glorious  morrow!

See  how  Thy  foes  their  banners  are  unfurling; 
Lord,  while  their  darts  envenomed  they  are  hurling, 

Thou  canst  preserve  us.

Lord,   Thou  canst  save  when  deadly  sin  assaileth; 
Lord,   o'er  Thy  Rock  nor  death  nor  hell  prevaileth: 

Grant  us  Thy  peace,  Lord: 

4  Peace  in  our  hearts,   our  evil  thoughts  assuaging, 
Peace  in  Thy  Church,   where  brothers  are  engaging. 
Peace,  when  the  world  its  busy  war  is  waging: 

Send  us,  O  Saviour. 

5  Grant  us  Thy  help  till  foes  are  backward  driven; 
Grant  them  Thy  truth,   that  they  may  be  forgiven; 
Grant  peace  on  earth,   or,   after  we  have  striven. 

Peace  in  Thy  heaven.

And  tumult  of  her  war. 

She  waits  the  consummation 

Of  peace  fcr  evermore; 


Till  with  the  vision  glorious 
Her  longing  eyes  are  blest. 

And  the  great  Church  victorious 
Shall  be  the  Church  at  rest.

With  God  the  Three  in  One,

2  See,  the  streams  of  living  waters 

Springing  from  eternal  love 
Well  supply  thy  sons  and  daughters, 

And  all  fear  of  want  remove : 
Who  can  faint,  while  such  a  river 

Ever  flows  their  thirst  t' assuage; 
Grace  which,  like  the  Lord,  the  Giver, 

Never  fails  from  age  to  age  ? 

3  Round  each  habitation  hovering. 

See  the  cloud  and  fire  appear 
For  a  glory  and  a  covering. 
Showing  that  the  Lord  is  near : 


Thus  deriving  from  their  banner 
Light  by  night  and  shade  by  day; 

Safe  they  feed  upon  the  manna 

Which  He  gives  them  when  they  pray. 

4  Saviour,  if  of  Zion's  city 

I,  through  grace,  a  member  am. 
Let  the  world  deride  or  pity, 

I  will  glory  in  Thy  name: 
Fading  is  the  worldling's  pleasure. 

All  his  boasted  pomp  and  show; 
Solid  joys  and  lasting  treasure 

None  but  Zion's  children  know.

In  crowding  ranks  on  every  side  arise, 
Demanding  life,   impatient  for  the  skies.

And    every    lamp    more    brightly 
burn. 


3  Give  those  who  teach  pure  hearts  and 
wise. 
Faith,  hope,  and  love,  all  warmed  by 
prayer; 
Themselves  first  training  for  the  skies. 
They  best  will  raise  their  people  there.

2  Put  all  thy  beauteous  garments  on, 
And  let  thy  excellence  be  known; 
The  world  thy  glories  shall  confess, 
Decked  in  the  robes  of  righteousness. 

3  God  from  on  high  has  heard  thy  prayerj 
His  hand  thy  ruins  shall  repair; 

Nor  will  thy  watchful  Monarch  cease 
To  guard  thee  in  eternal  peace.

423     Continued     [APPLETON] 

4  Give  those  who  learn  the  willing  ear, 
The  spirit  meek,  the  guileless  mind: 
Such  gifts  will  make  the  lowliest  here 
Far  better  than  a  kingdom  find. 


5  O  bless  the  shepherd;  bless  the  sheep; 
May  guide  and  guided  both  be  one, 
One  in  the  faithful  watch  they  keep, 
Until  this  hurrying  life  be  done. 


6  If  thus,  good  Lord,   Thy  grace  be  given, 
In  Thee  to  Hve,   in  Thee  to  die. 
Before  we  upward  pass  to  heaven 
We  taste  our  immortality.

2  Here  would  I  feed  upon  the  bread  of  God; 

Here  drink  with  Thee  the  royal   wine  of  heaven; 
Here  would  I  lay  aside  each  earthly  load, 
Here  taste  afresh  the  calm  of  sin  forgiven. 

3  I  have  no  help  but  Thine,  nor  do  I  need 

Another  arm  save  Thine  to  lean  upon: 
It  is  enough,  my  Lord,  enough  indeed; 

My  strength  is  in  Thy  might,  Thy  might  alone. 

4  Mine  is  the  sin,  but  Thine  the  righteousness; 

Mine  is  the  guilt,  but  Thine  the  cleansing  blood; 
Here  is  my  robe,  my  refuge,  and  my  peace, 

Thy  blood.  Thy  righteousness,  O  Lord  my  God. 

5  Too  soon  we  rise;    the  symbols  disappear; 

The  feast,   though  not  the  love,  is  past  and  gone; 
The  bread  and  wine  remove,  but  Thou  art  here, 
Nearer  than  ever,  still  my  Shield  and  Sun. 

6  Feast  after  feast  thus  comes  and  passes  by, 

Yet,   passing,   points  to  the  glad  feast  above. 
Giving  sweet  foretaste  of   ihe  festal   joy, 

The  Lamb's  great  bridal  feast  of  bliss  and  love.

We  now  recall  to  mind, 
Send  the  answer  from  above, 

And  let  us  mercy  find; 
Think  on  us,  who  think  on  Thee; 

And  every  struggling  soul  release; 
O  remember  Calvary, 

And  bid  us  go  in  peace! 

2  By  Thine  agonizing  pain 

And  bloody  sweat,  we  pray, 
By  Thy  dying  love  to  man. 
Take  all  our  sins  away ; 

24 


Burst  our  bonds,  and  set  us  free; 

From  all  iniquity  release; 
O  remember  Calvary, 

And  bid  us  go  in  peace! 

Let  Thy  blood,  by  faith  applied, 

The  sinner's  pardon  seal. 
Speak  us  freely  justified, 

And  all  our  sickness  heal; 
By  Thy  passion  on  the  tree, 

Let  all  our  griefs  and  troubles  cease; 
O  remember  Calvary, 

And  bid  us  go  in  peace!

6  And  when  these  failing  lips  grow  dumb, 

And  mind  and  memory  flee, 
When  Thou  shalt  in  Thy  kingdom  come, 
Jesus,  remember  me.

2  Sit  at  the  feast,  dear  Lord,  break  Thou  the  bread; 
Fill  Thou  the  cup  that  brings  life  to  the  dead: 
That  we  may  find  in  Thee,  pardon  and  peace; 
And  from  all  bondage  win  a  full  release. 

3  So  shall  our  life  of  faith  be  full,  be  sweet; 

And  we  shall  find  our  strength  for  each  day  meet; 
Fed  by  Thy  living  bread,  all  hunger  past. 
We  shall  be  satisfied  and  saved  at  last. 

4  Come,  then,  O  holy  Christ,  feed  us,  we  pray; 
Touch  with  Thy  pierced  hand  each  common  day. 
Making  this  earthly  life  full  of  Thy  grace, 

Till  in  the  home  of  heaven  we  find  our  place.

Nomore  the  hung' ring  heart  can  need;  Till  Thou  return,  the  King  confessed, 

Thyself  the  bread  by  which  we  live,  To  call  Thine  own  with  Thee  to  sup 

Thy  precious  blood  our  drink  indeed.  Within  Thy  Father's  kingdom  blest. 

6  O  Lord,  on  high  now  glorified, 

When  wilt  Thou  come  to  bring  us  home? 
Hear    Thou  Thy  Spirit  and  Thy  Bride, 
And  come,  Lord  Jesus,  quickly  come.

2  "This  is  my  blood,  for  sin's  remission  shed;" 

He  spake,  and  passed  the  wine-stained  chalice  round: 
So  let  us  drink,  and  on  Life's  fullness  fed 

With  heavenly  joy  each  quickening  pulse  shall  bound. 

3  The  hour  is  come;  with  us  in  peace  sit  down, 

Thine  own  beloved,   O  love  us  to  the  end; 
Serve  us  one  banquet  ere  the  night's  dark  frown 
Veil  from  our  sight  the  presence  of  our  Friend. 

4  Girded  with  love,  still  wash  Thy  servants'    feet. 

While  they  submissive  wonder  and  adore: 
Bathed  in  Thy  blood  our  spirits  every  whit 

Are  clean,  yet  cleanse  our  goings  more  and  more. 

5  Some  will  betray  Thee;    "Master,   is  it  I?" 

Leaning  upon  Thy  love  we  ask  in  fear; 
Ourselves  mistrusting,   earnestly  we  cry 

To  Thee,  the  Strong,  for  strength  when  sin  is  near. 

6  But  round  us  fall  the  evening  shadows  dim; 

A  saddened  awe  pervades  our  darkened  sense. 
In  solemn  choir  we  sing  the  parting  hymn, 

And  hear  Thy  voice,   "Arise,  let  us  go  hence."

With  souls  refreshed,  we  render  thanks  to  God. 

3  Salvation's  Giver,   Christ,   God's  only  Son, 

By  His  dear  cross  and  blood  the  victory  won. 

4  Offered  was  He  for  greatest  and  for  least, 
Himself  the  Victim,  and  Himself  the  Priest. 

5  He,  Ransomer  from  death,  and  Light  from  shade, 
Now  gives  His  holy  grace.   His  saints  to  aid; 

6  With  heavenly  bread  makes  them  that  hunger  whole. 
Gives  living  waters  to  the  thirsting  soul. 

7  Approach  ye  then  with  faithful  hearts  sincere. 
And  take  the  safeguard  of  salvation  here. 

8  He,   that  His  saints  in  this  world  rules  and  shields. 
To  all  believers  life  eternal  yields,

1  Jesus  invites  His  saints 

To  meet  around  His  board, 
Here  pardoned  rebels  sit,  and  hold 
Communion  with  their  Lord. 

2  For  food  He  gives  His  flesh; 

He  bids  us  drink  His  blood; 
Amazing  favor,  matchless  grace 
Of  our  descending  God! 

3  The  sacred  elements 

Remain  mere  wine  and  bread; 
But  signify  and  seal  the  love 
Of  Christ  our  covenant  head. 

4  This  holy  bread  and  wine 

Maintains  our  fainting  breath, 


By  union  with  our  living  Lord, 
And  interest  in  His  death. 

5  Our  heavenly  Father  calls 

Christ  and  His  members  one; 
We  the  young  children  of  His  love, 
And  He  the  first-bom  Son. 

6  We  are  but  several  parts 

Of  the  same  broken  bread; 
One  body  with  its  several  limbs. 
But  Jesus  is  the  head. 

7  Let  all  our  powers  be  joined 

His  glorious  name  to  raise; 
Pleasure  and  love  fill  every  mind. 
And  every  voice  be  praise.

God  shield  you  with  a  wall  of  fire, 
With  holy  zeal  your  hearts  inspire, 
Bid  raging  winds  their  fury  cease. 
And  hush  the  tempest  into  peace. 


And  when  our  labors  all  are  o'er, 
Then  we  shall  meet  to  part  no  more. 
Meet,  with  the  ransomed  throng  to  fall, 
And  crown  the  Saviour  Lord  of  all.

2  How  happy  are  our  ears, 

That  hear  this  joyful  sound, 
Which  kings  and  prophets  waited  for, 

And  sought,  but  never  found. 
How  blessed  are  our  eyes, 

That  see  this  heavenly  light; 
Prophets  and  kings  desired  it  long. 

But  died  without  the  sight. 


3  The  watchmen  join  their  voice. 

And  tuneful  notes  employ; 
Jerusalem  breaks  forth  in  songs, 

And  deserts  learn  the  joy. 
The  Lord  makes  bare  His  arm 

Through  all  the  earth  abroad; 
Let  every  nation  now  behold 

Their  Saviour  and  their  God.

1  We  love  the  venerable  house                    4  From  humble  tenements  around 

Our  fathers  built  to  God,  Came  up  the  pensive  train, 

In  heaven  are  kept  their  grateful  vows,  And  in  the  Church  a  blessing  found, 

Their  dust  endears  the  sod.  That  filled  their  homes  again; 


2  Here  holy  thoughts  a  light  have  shed 
From  many  a  radiant  face, 
And  prayers  of  humble  virtue  made 
The  perfume  of  the  place. 


5  For  faith,  and  peace,  and  mighty  love, 
That  from  the  God-head  flow, 
Showed  them  the  life  of  heaven  above 
Springs  from  the  life  below. 


3  And  anxious  hearts  have  pondered  here  6  They  live  with  God,  their  homes  are  dust; 
The  mystery  of  life.  Yet  here  their  children  pray. 

And  prayed  the  eternal  Light  to  clear  And  in  this  fleeting  lifetime  trust 
Their  doubts,  and  aid  th^ir  strife.  To  find  the  narrow  way. 

7  On  him  who  by  the  altar  stands, 
On  him  Thy  blessings  fall; 
Speak  through  his  lips  Thy  pure  commands. 
Thou  Heart,  that  lovest  all.

2  For  one,  whom  Jesus  loved,  has  truly  spoken, — 
The  holier  worship  which  He  deigns  to  bless 
Restores  the  lost,   and  binds  the  spirit  broken, 
And  feeds  the  widow  and  the  fatherless. 


3  Follow  with  reverent  steps  the  great  example 

Of  Him  whose  "holy  work  was  "doing  good;" 
So  shall  the  wide  earth  seem  our  Father's  temple, 
Each  loving  life  a  psalm  of  gratitude.

2  For  the  heart  grows  rich  in  giving; 

All  its  wealth  is  living  grain; 
Seeds  which  mildew  in  the  garner, 

Scattered,  fill  with  gold  the  plain. 
Is  thy  burden  hard  and  heavy? 

Do  thy  steps  drag  wearily? 
Help  to  bear  thy  brother's  burden, 

God  will  bear  both  it  and  thee. 

3  Numb  and  weary  on  the  mountains, 

Would'st  thou  sleep  amidst  the  snow? 
Chafe  that  frozen  form  beside  thee. 
And  together  both  shall  glow. 


Art  thou  stricken  in  life's  battle? 

Many  wounded  round  thee  moan; 
Lavish  on  their  wounds  thy  balsams. 

And  that  balm  shall  heal  thine  own. 

Is  the  heart  a  well  left  empty  ? 

None  but  God  its  void  can  fill; 
Nothing  but  a  ceaseless  Fountain 

Can  its  ceaseless  longings  still. 
Is  the  heart  a  living  power? 

Self-entwined,  its  strength  sinks  low; 
It  can  only  live  in  loving, 

And  by  serving  love  will  grow.

And  gather  in  the  grain;

And  soon  will  come  again.

And  shall  He  call  in  vain? 
Shall  sheaves  lie  there  ungathered. 

And  waste  upon  the  plain  ? 


3  Mount  up  the  heights  of  wisdom. 

And  crush  each  error  low; 
Keep  back  no  words  of  knowledge 

That  human  hearts  should  know. 
Be  faithful  to  thy  mission, 

In  service  to  thy  Lord;

Defend  the  cross  you  love. 
And  look  to  Him  for  wisdom 

And  counsel  from  above. 
Against  the  arch  deceiver, 

Against  the  host  of  sin, 
March  on  with  steady  purpose 

The  world  for  Christ  to  win! 

3  Be  strong,  O  Christian  soldiers, 

On  Jesus  cast  your  care, 
And  when  the  conflict  rages 
Let  every  breath  be  prayer. 


Fear  not;  the  Lord  is  with  you; 

'Tis  He  who  speaks  within; 
March  on  with  zeal  and  courage 

The  world  for  Christ  to  win! 

4  Go  forth,  go  forth,  rejoicing. 

And  in  the  Master's  name. 
To  weary  souls  that  perish 

Eternal  life  proclaim. 
The  crowning  day  is  coming; 

The  end  of  toil  and  sin; 
March  on  through  death  determined.

On,  right  onward,   for  the  right!

For  the  truth's  sake  go  abroad;

2   Shall  crime  bring  crime  forever, 
Strength  aiding  still  the  strong? 
Is  it  Thy  will,  O  Father, 

That  man  shall  toil  for  wrong  ? 
No,  say  Thy  mountains;  No,  Thy  skies; 
Man's  clouded  sun  shall  brightly  rise. 
And  songs  ascend  instead  of  sighs ; 
God  save  the  people! 


3  When  wilt  Thou  save  the  people? 

O  God  of  mercy,  when  ? 

The  people,  Lord,  the  people. 

Not  thrones  and  crowns,  but  men! 
God  save  the  people;  Thine  they  are. 
Thy  children,  as  Thine  angels  fair; 
From  vice,  oppression,  and  despair, 
God  save  the  people!

Willing  both  in  hand  and  heart.

To  Thy  healing  power  yield, 

Till  the  sick  and  sad,  in  gladness.

One  in  Thee  together  meet, 
Pardoned  at  Thy  judgment  seat.

Burdened  with  fears,

Fervent  wishes,  earnest  thought, 
Never  into  action  wrought — 

Long  withheld,  we  now  restore  them.

Which,  despite  of  faults  and  failings, 
Help  Thy  grace  in  its  prevailings —

Though  our  mortal  weakness  raise 
Offerings  of  imperfect  praise.

2  Send,  Lord,  by  these  to  the  sick  and  the  dying. 

Speak  to  their  hearts  with  a  message  of  peace; 
Comfort  the  sad,  who  in  weakness  are  lying. 
Grant  the  departing  a  gentle  release. 

3  Raise,  Lord,  to  health  again  those  who  have  sickened, 

Fair  be  their  lives  as  the  roses  in  bloom; 
Give  of  Thy  grace  to  the  souls  Thou  hast  quickened. 
Gladness  for  sorrow,  and  brightness  for  gloom. 

4  We,  Lord,  like  flowers,  must  bloom  and  must  wither; 

We,  like  these  blossoms,  must  fade  and  must  die; 
Gather  us.  Lord,  to  Thy  bosom  forever. 
Grant  us  a  place  in  Thy  house  in  the  sky.

In  all  things  Thee  to  see. 
And  what  I  do  in  anything. 
To  do  it  as  for  Thee; 

2  To  scorn  the  senses'  sway. 

While  still  to  Thee  I  tend; 
In  all  I  do  be  Thou  the  way. 
In  all  be  Thou  the  end. 


3  All  may  of  Thee  partake; 

Nothing  so  small  can  be 
But  draws,  when  acted  for  Thy  sake, 
Greatness  and  worth  from  Thee. 

4  If  done  to  obey  Thy  laws. 

E'en  servile  labors  shine; 
Hallowed  is  toil,  if  this  the  cause, 
The  meanest  work,  divine.

2  Sons  of  labor,  pray  to  Jesus; 

O  how  Jesus  prayed  for  you, 
In  the  moonlight,  on  the  mountain 

Where  the  shimmering  olives  grew. 
When  you  rise  up  at  the  dawning, 

Ere  to  toil  you  wend  your  way. 
Pray,  as  He  prayed,  in  the  morning, 

Long  before  the  break  of  day. 

3  Sons  of  labor,  be  like  Jesus, 

Undefiled  chaste,  and  pure. 
And,  though  Satan  tempt  you  sorely. 

By  His  grace  you  shall  endure. 
Husband,  father,  son,  and  brother, 

Be  ye  gentle,  just,  and  true, 
Be  ye  kind  to  one  another, 

As  the  Lord  is  kind  to  you. 


Sons  of  labor,  go  to  Jesus 

In  your  sorrow,  shame,  and  loss; 
He  is  nearest,  you  are  dearest 

When  you  bravely  bear  His  cross; 
Go  to  Him,  who  died  to  save  you. 

And  is  still  the  sinner's  Friend, 
And  the  great  love  which  forgave  you 

Will  forgive  you  to  the  end. 

5  Sons  of  labor,  live  for  Jesus, 

Be  your  work  your  worship  too; 
In  His  name,  and  to  His  glory. 

Do  whate'er  you  find  to  do, 
Till  the  night  of  sin  and  sorrow 

Be  forever  overpast, 
And  we  see  the  golden  morrow. 
Home  with  Jesus,  home  at  last.

a  See  heathen  nations  bending 

Before  the  God  we  love, 
And  thousand  hearts  ascending 

In  gratitude  above; 
While  sinners,  now  confessing, 

The  gospel  call  obey, 
And  seek  the  Saviour's  blessing, 

A  nation  in  a  day. 


3  Blest  river  of  salvation. 

Pursue  thine  onward  way; 
Flow  thou  to  every  nation, 

Nor  in  thy  richness  stay : 
Stay  not  till  all  the  lowly 

Triumphant  reach  their  home; 
Stay  not  till  all  the  holy 

Proclaim,  "The  Lord  is  come."

To  Him  shall  endless  prayer  be  made, 
And  endless  praises  crown  His  head; 
His  name  like  sweet  perfume  shall  rise 
With  every  morning  sacrifice. 

People  and  realms  of  every  tongue 
Dwell  on  His  love  with  sweetest  song; 
And  mfant  voices  shall  proclaim 
The'-i  early  blessings  on  His  name. 

Blessings  abound  where'er  He  reigns; 
The  joyful  prisoner  bursts  his  chains; 


The  weary  find  eternal  rest, 

And  all  the  sons  of  want  are  blest. 

Where  He  displays  His  healing  power, 
Death  and  the  curse  are  known  no  more; 
In  Him  the  tribes  of  Adam  boast 
More  blessings  than  their  father  lost. 

Let  every  creature  rise  and  bring 
Peculiar  honors  to  our  King; 
Angels  descend  with  songs  again, 
And  earth  repeat  the  loud  Amen.

1  Hail  to  the  Lord's  Anointed, 

Great  David's  greater  Son! 
Hail,  in  the  time  appointed, 

His  reign  on  earth  begun! 
He  comes  to  break  oppression, 

To  set  the  captive  free, 
To  take  away  transgression. 

And  rule  in  equity. 

2  Kings  shall  fall  down  before  Him, 

And  gold  and  incense  bring : 
All  nations  shall  adore  Him; 

His  praise  all  people  sing; 
For  He  shall  have  dominion 

O'er  river,  sea,  and  shore. 
Far  as  the  eagle's  pinion 

Or  dove's  light  wing  can  soar. 


He  shall  come  down  like  showers 

Upon  the  fruitful  earth; 
And  love,  joy,  hope,  like  flowers, 

Spring  in  His  path  to  birth; 
Before  Him  on  the  mountains 

Shall  peace,  the  herald,  go; 
And  righteousness  in  fountains 

From  hill  to  valley  flow. 

O'er  every  foe  victorious. 

He  on  His  throne  shall  rest. 
From  age  to  age  more  glorious, 

All  blessing  and  all-blest; 
The  tide  of  time  shall  never 

His  covenant  remove; 
His  name  shall  stand  for  ever. 

That  name  to  us  is  love.

The  powers  of  heaven  and  hell  engage 

For  more  than  death  or  life.

Strong  in  your  Captain's  strength 
Go  to  the  conquest  of  all  lands; 
All  must  be  His  at  length. 


The  spoils  at  His  victorious  feet 

You  shall  rejoice  to  lay, 
And  lay  yourselves,  as  trophies  meet. 

In  His  great  judgment-day. 

O    fear   not,   faint    not,   halt    not

In  Jesus*  Name  be  strong; 
To  Him  shall  all  the  nations  bow, 

And  sing  with  you  this  song: 
Uplifted  are  the  gates  of  brass; 

The  bars  of  iron  yield; 
Behold  the  King  of  Glory  pass; 

The  cross  hath  won  the  field.

Bound  in  the  darksome  prison-house  of  sin,

And  died  on  earth  that  man  might  live  above.

Give  of  thy  wealth  to  speed  them  on  their  way; 
Pour  out  thy  soul  for  them  in  prayer  victorious; 
And  all  thou  spendest  Jesus  will  repay.

2  Light  of  the  world,  Thy  beauty 

Steals  into  every  heart 
And  glorifies  with  duty 

Life's  poorest,  humblest  part; 
Thou  robest  in  Thy  splendor 

The  simple  ways  of  men, 
And  helpest  them  to  render 

Light  back  to  Thee  again. 

3  Light  of  the  world,  before  Thee 

Our  spirits  prostrate  fall; 
We  worship,  we  adore  Thee, 
Thou  Light,  the  Life  of  all; 


With  Thee  is  no  forgetting 
Of  all  Thine  hand  hath  made; 

Thy  rising  hath  no  setting, 
'fhy  sunshine  hath  no  shade. 

Light  of  the  world,  illumine 

This  darkened  land  of  Thine, 
Till  everything  that's  human 

Be  filled  with  what's  divine; 
Till  every  tongue  and  nation. 

From  sin's  dominion  free. 
Rise  in  the  new  creation 

Which  springs  from  Love  and  Thee.

Hail  to  the  millions  from  bondage  returning,

3  Lo,  in  the  desert  rich  flowers  are  springing, 

Streams  ever  copious  are  gliding  along; 
Loud  from  the  mountain-tops  echoes  are  ringing. 
Wastes  rise  in  verdure  and  mingle  in  song.

Praise  to  Jehovah  ascending  on  high;

Shouts  of  salvation  are  rending  the  sky.

Speed  forth  Thy  flight; 
Move  o'er  the  water's  face. 
Bearing  the  lamp  of  grace. 
And  in  the  earth's  darkest  place 

Let  there  be  light. 


4  Holy  and  blessed  Three, 
Glorious  Trinity, 

Wisdom,  Love,  Might ! 
Boundless  as  ocean's  tide. 
Rolling  in  fullest  pride. 
Through  the  world  far  and  wide 
Let  there  be  Light.

2  From  eastern  dawn  has  beamed  the  Gospel  light, 
To  cheer,   illumine,  and  endue  with  might; 

Still  more  and  more  its  gracious  realm  extend. 
While  glad  hosannas  to  Thy  throne  ascend. 

3  O  Sun  of  Righteousness,  Thy  healing  give, 
That  all  the  earth  may  look  to  Thee  and  live; 
That  all  the  peoples  gathered  here  may  know 

The  health  and  peace  that  from  Thy  presence  flow. 

4  May  many  tongues  acquire  one  language  here. 
To  tell  Thy  glory,   and  promote  Thy  fear; 
Thy  Spirit's  voice  be  in  the  message  heard, 
And  every  heart  receive  the  living  Word. 

5  Grant  us  the  fruitage  of  the  heavenly  birth; 
Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be  done  on  earth; 
O'er  mighty  river,  and  from  sea  to  sea. 

Let  all  be  one  in  loyalty  to  Thee.

Lo,  the  Son  of  God  is  come.

2  Friends  and  home  and  all  forsaking, 
Lord,  they  go  at  Thy  command;

O  be  with  them, 
Lead  them  safely  by  the  hand.

4  In  the  midst  of  opposition, 

Let  them  trust,  O  Lord,  in  Thee; 
When  success  attains  their  mission, 
Let  Thy  servants  humbler  be: 

Never  leave  them, 
Till  Thy  face  in  heaven  they  see : 


3  Where  no  fruit  appears  to  cheer  them,    5  There  to  reap,  in  joy  for  ever. 


And  they  seem  to  toil  in  vain, 
Then  in  mercy,  I,ord,  draw  near  them, 
Then  their  sinking  hopes  sustain : 

Thus  supported. 
Let  their  zeal  revive  again, 

2§ 


Fruit  that  grows  from  seed  here  sown; 
There  to  be  with  Him,  who  never 
Ceases  to  preserve  His  own, 

And  with  gladness 
Give  the  praise  to  Him  alone.

Blow  soft  o'er  Ceylon's  isle; 
Though  every  prospect  pleases, 

And  only  man  is  vile : 
In  vain  with  lavish  kindness 

The  gifts  of  God  are  strown; 
The  heathen  in  his  blindness 

Bows  down  to  wood  and  stone. 

3  Can  we,  whose  souls  are  lighted 

With  wisdom  from  on  high, 
Can  we  to  men  benighted 
The  lamp  of  life  deny? 


Salvation!   O  salvation! 

The  joyful  sound  proclaim, 
Till  each  remotest  nation 

Has  learned  Messiah's  name. 

Waft,  waft,  ye  winds,  His  story, 

And  you,  ye  waters,  roll, 
Till  like  a  sea  of  glory 

It  spreads  from  pole  to  pole; 
Till  o'er  our  ransomed  nature 

The  Lamb  for  sinners  slain. 
Redeemer,  King,  Creator,

Amid  their  daily  cares. 
And  by  the  loving  life  He  led

Our  country's  voice  is  pleading, 

Ye  men  of  God,  arise! 
His  providence  is  leading. 

The  land  before  you  lies; 
Day-gleams  are  o'er  it  brightening, 

And  promise  clothes  the  soil; 
Wide  fields,  for  harvest  whitening, 

Invite  the  reaper's  toil. 
Go  where  the  waves  are  breaking 

On  California's  shore, 
Christ's  precious  gospel  taking. 

More  rich  than  golden  ore; 


On  Alleghany's  mountains, 

Through  all  the  western  vale, 
Beside  Missouri's  fountains. 

Rehearse  the  wondrous  tale. 
The  love  of  Christ  unfolding, 

Speed  on  from  east  to  west, 
Till  all,  His  cross  beholding, 

In  Him  are  fully  blessed. 
Great  Author  of  salvation. 

Haste,  haste  the  glorious  day, 
When  we,  a  ransomed  nation. 

Thy  scepter  shall  obey.

2  We  would  celebrate  the  changes 

Which  the  passing  years  have  made. 
Since  our  fathers — poor — and  strangers- 
Sought  the  Western  forest's  shade. 
From  Helvetia's  vine-clad  mountains 

Came  a  little  friendless  band; 
By  the  rich  Rhine's  infant  fountains 
Others  left  their  fatherland. 

3  Here  the  little  vine,  increasing, 

Spread  its  branches  green  and  fair; 
Now  by  Thine  especial  blessing 
See  how  wide  Thy  vineyards  are.

Seaward  and  skyward,  let  it  shine: 

Nor  skill,  nor  might,  nor  merit  ours; 
We  conquer  only  in  that  sign. 

George  Washington  Doane,  1848 


Fling  out  the  banner!  angels  bend 
In  anxious  silence  o'er  the  sign, 

And  vainly  seek  to  comprehend 
The  wonder  of  the  love  divine. 

Fling  out  the  banner!   heathen  lands 
Shall  see  from  far  the  glorious  sight. 

And  nations,  crowding  to  be  born, 
Baptize  their  spirits  in  its  light.

2  Then  through  our  solitary  coast, 
The  desert  features  soon  were  lost, 

Thy  temples  there  arose; 
Our  shores,  as  culture  made  them  fair, 
Were  hallowed  by  Thy  rites,  by  prayer, 

And  blossomed  as  the  rose. 

3  And  oh,  may  we  repay  this  debt 
To  regions  solitary  yet 

Within  our  spreading  land; 


There  brethren,  from  our  common  home, 
Still  westward,  like  our  fathers,  roam, 
Still  guided  by  Thy  hand. 

Saviour,  we  owe  this  debt  of  love; 
O  shed  Thy  Spirit  from  above, 

To  move  each  Christian  breast; 
Till  heralds  shall  Thy  truth  proclaim. 
And  temples  rise  to  fix  Thy  name.

1  Go,  heralds  of  salvation,  forth;  3 

Go  in  your  heavenly  Master's  name. 

From  east  to  west,  from  south  to  north, 

The  glorious  gospel  wide  proclaim. 

2  Go  forth  to  sow  the  living  seed;  4 

Seek  not  earth's  praise,  nor  dread  its 
frown; 
Nor  labors  fear,  nor  trials  heed; 
Win  jewels  for  Immanuel's  crown. 


Lo,  I  am  with  you,  saith  the  Lord, 
My  grace  your  spirit  shall  sustain; 

Strong  is  My  arm,  and  sure  My  word; 
My  servants  shall  not  toil  in  vain. 

Go  forth  in  hope;  My  burden  take. 
Till   God's  great  reaping  day   shall 
come; 

Then  they  who  sowed  in  tears  shall  wake, 
And  hail  the  joyful  harvest  home.

2   'Tis  hard  to  take  the  burden  up, 

When  these  have  laid  it  down; 
They  brightened  all  the  joy  of  life. 

They  softened  every  frown : 
But  oh,  'tis  good  to  think  of  them,

Thanks  be  to  God  that  such  have  been, 

Although  they  are  no  more.

The  deep,  sweet  Well  of  love! 
The  streams  on  earth  I've  tasted; 

More  deep  I'll  drink  above. 
There  to  an  ocean  fullness 

His  mercy  doth  expand. 
And  glory,  glory  dwelleth 

In  Emmanuel's  land. 

3  With  mercy  and  with  judgment, 

My  web  of  time  He  wove. 
And  aye  the  dews  of  sorrow 
Were  lustred  with  His  love: 


I'll  bless  the  hand  that  guided, 
I'll  bless  the  heart  that  planned, 

When  throned  where  glory  dwelleth 
In  Emmanuel's  land. 

4  The  bride  eyes  not  her  garment. 

But  her  dear  bridegroom's  face; 
I  will  not  gaze  at  glory. 

But  on  my  King  of  grace; 
Not  at  the  crown  He  giveth, 

But  on  His  pierced  hand: 
The  Lamb  is  all  the  glory 

Of  Emmanuel's  land.

2  Onward  we  go,   for  still  we  hear  them  singing, 

"Come,  weary  souls,   for  Jesus  bids  you  come;" 
And  through  the  dark,   its  echoes  sweetly  ringing, 
The  music  of  the  gospel  leads  us  home. 

3  Far,   far  away,  like  bells  at  evening  pealing. 

The  voice  of  Jesus  sounds  o'er  land  and  sea; 
And  laden  souls,  by  thousands  meekly  stealing. 
Kind  Shepherd,   turn  their  weary  steps  to  Thee. 

4  Rest  comes  at  length;    though  life  be  long  and  dreary, 

The  day  must  dawn,  and  darksome  night  be  past; 
Faith's  journeys  end  in  welcome  to  the  weary. 

And  heaven,  the  heart's  true  home,  will  come  at  last. 

5  Angels,  sing  on,   your  faithful  watches  keeping; 

Sing  us  sweet  fragments  of  the  songs  above, 
Till  morning's   joy  shall  end  the  night  of  weeping. 
And  life's  long  shadows  break  in  cloudless  love.

2  Sweet  fields  beyond  the  swelling  flood 

Stand  dressed  in  living  green; 
So  to  the  Jews  old  Canaan  stood, 

While  Jordan  rolled  between. 
But  timorous  mortals  start  and  shrink 

To  cross  the  narrow  sea; 
And  linger,  shivering  on  the  brink. 

And  fear  to  launch  away. 


3  O  could  we  make  our  doubts  remove. 

These  gloomy  doubts  that  rise, 
And  see  the  Canaan  that  we  love 

With  unbeclouded  eyes; 
Could  we  but  climb  where  Moses  stood, 

And  view  the  landscape  o'er,    [flood. 
Not  Jordan's  stream,  nor  death's  cold 

Should  fright  us  from  the  shore.

2  I  saw  the  Holy  City,

Come  down  from  heaven  a  Bride  adorned 

With  jeweled  diadem : 
The  flood  of  crystal  waters 

Flowed  down  the  golden  street;  ^ 

And  nations  brought  their  honors  there, 

And  laid  them  at  her  feet. 

3  O  great  and  glorious  vision! — 

The  Lamb  upon  His  throne — 
O  wondrous  sight  for  man  to  seel 
The  Saviour  with  His  own: 


To  drink  the  living  waters. 
And  stand  upon  the  shore, 

Where  neither  sorrow,  sin,  nor  death, 
Shall  ever  enter  more. 

O  Lamb  of  God,  who  reignest! 

Thou  Bright  and  Morning  Star, 
Whose  glory  lightens  that  new  earth 

Which  now  we  see  from  far; 
O  worthy  Judge  Eternal! 

When  Thou  dost  bid  us  come, 
Then  open  wide  the  gates  of  pearl. 

And  call  Thy  servants  home.

2  What  rush  of  alleluias 

Fills  all  the  earth  and  sky! 
What  ringing  of  a  thousand  harps 

Bespeaks  the  triumph  nigh! 
O  day  for  which  creation 

And  all  its  tribes  were  made; 
O  joy  for  all  its  former  woes 

A  thousand- fold  repaid! 

3  O  then  what  raptured  greetings 

On  Canaan's  happy  shore; 
What  knitting  severed  friendships  up, 
Where  partings  are  no  more! 


Then  eyes  with  joys  shall  sparkle 
That  brimmed  with  tears  of  late; 

Orphans  no  longer  fatherless, 
Nor  widows  desolate. 

Bring  near  Thy  great  salvation, 

Thou  Lamb  for  sinners  slain; 
Fill  up  the  roll  of  Thine  elect, 

Then  take  Thy  power,  and  reign : 
Appear,  Desire  of  nations, 

rhine  exiles  long  for  home; 
Show  in  the  heavens  Thy  promised  sign; 

Thou  Prince  and  Saviour,  come!

2  And  now  we  fight  the  battle, 

But  then  shall  wear  the  crown 
Of  full,  and  everlasting 
And  passionless  renown. 

3  And  now  we  watch  and  struggle. 

And  now  we  live  in  hope. 
And  Zion  in  her  anguish 
With  Babylon  must  cope.

In  fulness  of  His  grace, 
We  then  shall  see  forever.

The  prize,  the  prize  secure* 

The  athlete  nearly  fell; 
Bare  all  he  could  endure. 

And  bare  not  always  well. 
But  he  may  smile  at  troubles  gone 
Who  sets  the  victor-garland  on!

O  nights  and  days  of  tears, 
O  longings  not  to  roam, 

O  sins,  and  doubts  and  fears. 
What  matter  now  (when  so  men  say) 
The  King  has  wiped  those  tears  away?

3  There,  faith  lifts  up  her  cheerful  eye 

To  brighter  prospects  given; 
And  views  the  tempest  passing  by, 
The  evening  shadows  quickly  fly, 

And  all  serene  in  heaven. 

4  There,  fragrant  flowers,  immortal  bloom, 

And  joys  supreme  are  given; 
There,  rays  divine  disperse  the  gloom: 
Beyond  the  confines  of  the  tomb 

Appears  the  dawn  of  heaven.

2  These  through  fiery  trials  trod, 

These  from  great  afflictions  came; 
Now,  before  the  throne  of  God, 

Sealed  with  His  almighty  name. 
Clad  in  raiment  pure  and  white, 

Victor-palms  in  every  hand, 
Through  their  dear  Redeemer's  might, 

More  than  conquerors  they  stand. 


3  Hunger,  thirst,  disease  unknown. 

On  immortal  fruits  they  feed; 
Them  the  Lamb  amidst  the  throne 

Shall  to  living  fountains  lead; 
Joy  and  gladness  banish  sighs; 

Perfect  love  dispells  all  fears; 
And  forever  from  their  eyes 

God  shall  wipe  away  their  tears.

With  childlike  trust  that  fears  nor  pain  nor  death.

And  to  life's  day  the  glorious  unknown  morrow

When  joy  is  overflowing,  full  and  free; 
O  happy  home,  where  every  wounded  spirit 

Is  brought.   Physician,  Comforter,  to  Thee, 
Until  at  last,  when  earth's  day's-work  is  ended,

Bless  our  motherhood,   Ave  pray; 
Give  us  grace  to  lead  our  children, 

Draw  them  to  Thee  day  by  day; 
May  our  sons  and  daughters  be 
Dedicated,   Lord,   to  Thee.

Nor  didst  humble  work  disdain. 
Grant  we  may  Thy  footsteps  follow 

Patiently  through  toil  or  pain; 
May  our  quiet  home  life  be 
Lived,   O  Lord,  in  Thee,  to  Thee. 

4  Thou  Who  didst  go  forth  in  sorrow. 

Toiling  for  the  souls  of  men, 
Thou  Who  shalt  draw  all  men  to  Thee, 

Though  despised,   rejected  then; 
Humble  though  our  influence  be, 
Use  it  in  the  world  for  Thee. 

5  Bless  our  homes.  Lord,  through  our  members 

World-wide  may  Thy  work  be  wrought; 
Through  the  homes  in  every  nation 

Many  to  Thy  fold  be  brought; 
Fathers,   mothers,  children  be 
Led  to  live  true  life  for  Thee.

No,  no,  it  is  not  dying 

Heaven's  citizen  to  be; 
A  crown  immortal  wearing, 
And  rest  unbroken  sharing, 
From  care  and  conflict  free. 

No,  no,  it  is  not  dying 

To  hear  this  gracious  word, 
"Receive  a  Father's  blessing. 
For  evermore  possessing 
The  favor  of  Thy  Lord." 


4  No,  no,  it  is  not  dying 

The  Shepherd's  voice  to  know; 
His  sheep  He  ever  leadeth. 
His  peaceful  flock  He  feedeth. 

Where  living  pastures  grow. 

5  No,  no,  it  is  not  dying 

To  wear  a  lordly  crown; 
Among  God's  people  dwelling. 
The  glorious  triumph  swelling 

Of  Him  whose  sway  we  own.

3  Ah,  Lord  Jesus,  grant  that  we 

Where  it  lives  may  soon  be  living, 
And  the  lovely  pastures  see 

That  its  heavenly  food  are  giving; 
Then  the  gain  of  death  we  prove, 
Though  Thou  take  what  most  we  love. 

Johann  W.  Meinhold,  1835    Tr.  Catherine  Winkworth,  1858 


2  In  this  world  of  care  and  pain, 

Lord, Thou  wouldst  no  longer  leave  it; 
To  the  sunny,  heavenly  plain 

Thou  dost  now  with  joy  receive  it; 
Clothed  in  robes  of  spotless  white, 
Now  it  dwells  with  Thee  in  light. 


569     Continued    [GREENWOOD] 

2  It  is  not  death  to  close 

The  eye  long  dimmed  by  tears. 
And  wake  in  glorious  repose 
To  spend  eternal  years. 


3  It  is  not  death  to  fling 
Aside  this  sinful  dust, 
And  rise  on  strong  exulting  wing 
To  live  among  the  just. 


4  Jesus,  Thou  Prince  of  life, 
Thy  chosen  cannot  die; 
Like  Thee  they  conquer  in  the  strife, 
To  reign  with  Thee  on  high. 

H.  A.  Cesar  Malan    Tr.  by  Georse  W.  Bethune,  1847

Be  thou  not  afraid;

Be  thou  not  dismayed. 
Yea,  I  will  uphold  thee 

With  My  own  right  hand; 
Thou  art  called  and  chosen 

In  My  sight  to  stand." 

3  For  the  year  before  us, 

O  what  rich  supplies! 
For  the  poor  and  needy 
Living  streams  shall  rise; 


For  the  sad  and  sinful 
Shall  His  grace  abound; 

For  the  faint  and  feeble 
Perfect  strength  be  found. 

He  will  never  fail  us, 

He  will  not  forsake; 
His  eternal  covenant 

He  will  never  break. 
Resting  on  His  promise, 

What  have  we  to  fear? 
God  is  all-sufficient 

For  the  coming  year.

2  All  its  numbered  days  are  sped. 

All  its  busy  scenes  are  o'er. 
All  its  joys  for  ever  fled. 

All  its  sorrows  felt  no  more. 
Mingled  with  th'  eternal  past. 

Its  remembrance  shall  decay; 
Yet  to  be  revived  at  last 

At  the  solemn  judgment-day. 


3  All  our  follies.  Lord,  forgive. 

Cleanse  us  from  each  guilty  stain; 
Let  Thy  grace  within  us  live. 

That  we  spend  not  years  in  vain. 
Then,  when  life's  last  eve  shall  come, 

Happy  spirits,  may  we  fly 
To  our  everlasting  home, 

To  our  Father's  house  on  high.

And  when  clouds  are  drifting 

Dark  across  our  sky, 
Then,  the  veil  uplifting, 

Father,  be  Thou  nigh.

Though  Thou  veil  Thy  light; 
Life  is  dark  without  Thee; 

Death  with  Thee  is  bright. 
Light  of  light!    Shine  o'er  us 

On  our  pilgrim  way; 
Go  Thou  still  before  us 

To  the  endless  day.

2  God's  free  mercy  streameth 

Over  all  the  world, 
And  His  banner  gleameth 

Everywhere  unfurled; 
Broad  and  deep  and  glorious 

As  the  heaven  above. 
Shines  in  might  victorious 

His  eternal  love. 

3  Lord,  upon  our  blindness, 

Thy  pure  radiance  pour; 
For  Thy  loving-kmdness 
Make  us  love  Thee  more.

2  Thine,  Father,  is  the  river 

That  maketh  rich  the  earth; 
Through  Thee,  O  gracious  Giver, 

The  buried  seed  had  birth: 
Thou,  on  the  furrows  raining, 

Didst  make  them  soft  with  showers, 
The  thirsty  crops  maintaining 

Through  silent  summer  hours. 

3  The  year,  by  Thee  anointed. 

Is  now  with  goodness  crowned; 
Robed  in  the  robes  appointed, 
With  gladness  girded  round: 


We  thank  Thee  for  the  blessing 
Which  meets  us  on  our  way. 

And  come,  Thy  love  confessing, 
With  happy  hearts  to-day. 

But  while  our  lips  are  praising. 

Our  lives  to  Thee  belong; 
With  them  we  would  be  raising 

A  nobler,  sweeter  song; 
One  that  may  sound  forever, 

While  earth's  great  harvest  speeds, 
A  song  of  high  endeavor 

Rung  out  in  earnest  deeds.

( Also  Messiah, 

All  the  world  is  God's  own  field, 
Fruit  unto  His  praise  to  yield; 
AVheat  and  tares  together  sown. 
Unto  joy  or  sorrow  grown  : 
First  the  blade,  and  then  the  ear, 
Then  the  full  corn  shall  appear; 
Lord  of  harvest,  grant  that  we 
Wholesome  grain  and  pure  may  be. 

For  the  Lord  our  God  shall  come 
And  shall  take  His  harvest  home; 
From  His  fields  shall  in  that  day 
All  offences  purge  away; 


I  '       I 

No.  654.) 

Give  His  angels  charge  at  last 
In  the  fire  the  tares  to  cast. 
But  the  fruitful  ears  to  store 
In  His  garner  evermore. 

4  Even  so.  Lord,  quickly  come 
To  Thy  final  harvest  home; 
Gather  Thou  Thy  people  in, 
Free  from  sorrow,  free  from  sin; 
There  forever  purified. 
In  Thy  presence  to  abide : 
Come,  with  all  Thine  angels,  come. 
Raise  the  glorious  harvest-home.

Yellow  sheaves  of  ripened  grain: 
Lord,  for  these  our  souls  shall  raise 
Grateful  vows  and  solemn  praise. 

3  Peace,  prosperity  and  health, 
Private  bliss,  and  public  wealth. 
Knowledge  with  its  gladdening  streams, 


Pure  religion's  holier  beams: 
Lord,  for  these  our  souls  shall  raise 
Grateful  vows  and  solemn  praise. 

As  Thy  prospering  hand  hath  blest, 
May  we  give  Thee  of  our  best; 
And  by  deeds  of  kindly  love 
For  Thy  mercies  grateful  prove; 
Singing  thus  through  all  our  days. 
Praise  to  God,  immortal  praise.

2  He  only  is  the  Maker 

Of  all  things  near  and  far; 
He  paints  the  wayside  flower. 
He  lights  the  evening  star; 
The  winds  and  waves  obey  Him; 

By  Him  tiie  birds  are  fed; 
Much  mo.e  to  us,  His  children, 
He  gives  our  daily  bread.

3  We  thank  Thee  then,  O  Father, 

For  all  things  bright  and  good, 
The  seed-time  and  the  harvest. 

Our  life,  our  health,  our  food; 
Accept  the  gifts  we  offer 

For  all  Thy  love  imparts. 
And,  what  Thou  most  desirest.

Through  storm  and  night: 
When  the  wild  tempests  rave, 
Ruler  of  wind  and  wave, 
Do  Thou  our  country  save 

By  Thy  great  might. 

2  Not  for  this  land  alone, 
But  be  God's  mercy  shown 

From  shore  to  shore; 


And  may  the  nations  see 
That  men  should  brothers  be 
And  form  one  family 

The  wide  world  o'er. 

3  God  bless  our  absent  ones; 

Father,  protect  thy  sons, 

On  field  or  foam. 
Give  them  brave  hearts  to  fight; 
Use  them  to  stablish  right; 
Shield  them  with  loving  might, 

And  bring  them  home.

2  The  tumult  and  the  shouting  dies; 

The  captains  and  the  kings  depart; 
Still  stands  Thine  ancient  sacrifice. 

An  humble  and  a  contrite  heart: 
Lord  God  of  hosts,  be  with  us  yet, 
Lest  we  forget,  lest  we  forget. 

3  Far-called  our  navies  melt  away, 

On  dune  and  headland  sinks  the  fire; 
Lo,  all  our  pomp  of  yesterday 

Is  one  with  Nineveh  and  Tyre! 
Judge  of  the  nations,  spare  us  yet. 
Lest  we  forget,  lest  we  forget. 


4  If,  drunk  with  sight  of  power,  we  loose 

Wild  tongues  that  have  not  Thee  in  awe, 
Such  boastings  as  the  Gentiles  use. 

Or  lesser  breeds  without  the  law: 
Lord  God  of  hosts,  be  with  us  yet, 
Lest  we  forget,  lest  we  forget. 

5  For  heathen  heart  that  puts  her  trust 

In  reeking  tube  and  iron  shard; 
All  valiant  dust  that  builds  on  dust, 

And,guarding,calls  not  Thee  to  guard: 
For  frantic  boast  and  foolish  word, 
Thy  mercy  on  Thy  people,  Lord!

When  death  flies  swift  on  wave  or  field, 
Be  Thou  a  sure  Defence  and  Shield! 
Console  and  succor  those  who  fall, 
And  help  and  hearten  each  and  all! 
O  hear  a  people's  prayer  for  those 
Who  fearless  face  their  country's  foes! 

For  those  who  weak  and  broken  lie, 
In  weariness  and  agony — 
Great  Healer,  to  their  beds  of  pain 
Come,  touchand  make  them  wholeagain! 
O  hear  a  people's  prayers,  and  bless 
Thy  servants  in  their  hour  of  stress! 


For  those  to  whom  the  call  shall  come 
We  pray  Thy  tender  welcome  home; 
The  toil,  the  bitterness  all  past, 
We  trust  them  to  Thy  love  at  last. 
O  hear  a  people's  prayers  for  all 
Who,  nobly  striving,  nobly  fall! 

For  those  who  minister  and  heal,  [zeal; 
And  spend  themselves,  their  skill,  their 
Renew  their  hearts  with  Christlike  faith, 
And  guard  them  from  disease  and  death. 
And  in  Thine  own  good  time.  Lord,  send 
Thy  peace  on  earth  till  time  shall  end.

2  O  beautiful  for  pilgrim  feet, 

Whose  stern,  impassioned  stress 
A  thoroughfare  for  freedom  beat 

Across  the  wilderness; 
America!  America! 

God  mend  thine  every  flaw, 
Confirm  thy  soul  in  self-control 

Thy  liberty  in  law. 

3  O  beautiful  for  heroes  proved 

In  liberating  strife, 
Who  more  than  self  their  country  lovedj 
And  mercy  more  than  life! 


America!  America! 

May  God  thy  gold  refine 
Till  all  success  be  nobleness, 

And  every  gain  divine. 

4  O  beautiful  for  patriot  dream 

That  sees  beyond  the  years 
Thine  alabaster  cities  gleam 

Undimmed  by  human  tears; 
America!   America! 

God  shed  His  grace  on  thee, 
And  crown  thy  good  with  brotherhood 

From  sea  to  shining  sea.

Thy  name  we  bless.  Almighty  God! 

For  all  the  kindness  Thou  hast  shown 
To  this  fair  land  the  pilgrims  trod. 

This  land  we  fondly  call  our  own. 
Here  freedom  spreads  her  banners  wide. 

And  casts  her  soft  and  hallowed  ray; 
Here  Thou  our  father's  steps  did  guide 

In  safety  through  their  dangerous  way. 


We  praise  Thee  that  the  Gospel's  light 
Through  all  our  land  its  radiance  sheds. 

Dispels  the  shades  of  error's  night, 

And  heavenly  blessings  round  usspreads. 

Great  God!   preserve  us  in  Thy  fear; 
In  dangers  still  our  Guardian  be; 

O  spread  Thy  truth '  s  bri gh  t  precepts  here, 
Let  all  the  people  worship  Thee.

On  the  shore  dimly  seen  through  the  mists  of  the  deep, 

Where  the  foe's  haughty  host  in  dread  silence  reposes, 
What  is  that  which  the  breeze,  o'er  the  towering  steep 

As  it  fitfully  blows,  half  conceals,  half  discloses  ? 
Now  it  catches  the  gleam  of  the  morning's  first  beam, 
In  full  glory  reflected  now  shines  on  the  stream; 
'Tis  the  Star-spangled  Banner — O  long  may  it  wave 
O'er  the  land  of  the  free  and  the  home  of  the  brave! 

O  thus  be  it  ever  when  freemen  shall  stand 

Between  their  loved  homes  and  the  war's  desolation; 
Blest  with  victory  and  peace,  may  the  Heaven-rescued  land 

Praise  the  Power  that  hath  made  and  preserved  us  a  nation. 
Then  conquer  we  must,  when  our  cause  it  is  just, 
And  this  be  our  motto,  "In  God  is  our  trust;  " 
And  the  Star-spangled  Banner  in  triumph  shall  wave 
O'er  the  land  of  the  free  and  the  home  of  the  brave!

When  our  land  is  illumined  with  Liberty's  smile, 

If  a  foe  from  within  strike  a  blow  at  her  glory, 
Down,  down  with  the  traitor  that  dares  to  defile 

The  flag,  or  her  stars  and  the  page  of  her  story! 
By  the  millions  unchained  who  our  birthright  have  gained, 
We  will  keep  her  bright  blazon  forever  unstained! 
And  the  Star-spangled  Banner  in  triumph  shall  wave 
While  the  land  of  the  free  is  the  home  of  the  brave!

1  From  age  to  age  they  gather,  all  the  brave  of  heart  and  strong, 
In  the  strife  of  truth  with  error,  of  the  right  against  the  wrong; 
I  can  see  their  gleaming  banner,  I  can  hear  their  triumph-song: 

The  truth  is  marching  on! 

2  *In  this  sign  we  conquer;'  'tis  the  symbol  of  our  faith. 
Made  holy  by  the  might  of  love  triumphant  over  death; 
'He  finds  his  life  who  loseth  it,'  forevermore  it  saith: 

The  right  is  marching  on! 

3  The  earth  is  circling  onward  out  of  shadow  into  light; 

The  stars  keep  watch  above  our  way  however  dark  the  night; 
For  every  martyr's  stripe  there  glows  a  bar  of  morning  bright; 
And  love  is  marching  on! 

4  Lead  on,  O  cross  of  martyr  faith,  with  thee  is  victory; 

Shine  forth,  O  stars  and  reddening  dawn,  the  full  day  yet  shall  be. 
On  earth  His  kingdom  cometh,  and  with  joy  our  eyes  shall  see, 
Our  God  i§  marching  on.

Bright  shine  the  stars  in  her  firma-

Brave  stand  her  children,  heroic  and 
strong, 
Loyal  and  loving  and   faithful  and

Loyal  to  God,  to  humanity  true; 

Loving  in  service  of  help  to  the  weak; 
Now  to  our  country  our  vows  we  renew. 
Pledge  we  our  lives  as  her  honor  we

God  of  our  fathers,  O  bless  Thou  our 
land! 
Guide  of  the  pilgrims  across  the  wide

Save  Thou  the  nation  Thy  Providence 
planned, 
Beacon  of  blessing  to  all  may  it  be! 
Beacon   of  brotherhood   here    may    it 
be. 
Flashing  a  message  of  hope  in  its  ray, 
Promise  of  days  when  the  world  shall 
be  free! 
God  of  our  fathers;  defend  us  we  pray!

The  holy  faith  that  warmed  our  sires; 
Thy  hand  hath  made  our  nation  free; 
To  die  for  her  is  serving  Thee. 

3  Be  Thou  a  pillared  flame  to  show 
The  midnight  snare,  the  silent  foe; 
And  when  the  battle  thunders  loud, 
Still  guide  us  in  its  moving  cloud. 


4  God  of  all  nations,  Sovereign  Lord, 
In  Thy  dread  name  we  draw  the  sword,

The  man  of  God's  own  choosing: 

Dost  ask  who  that  may  be? 

Christ  Jesus,  it  is  He! 

Lord  Sabaoth,  His  name, 

From  age  to  age  the  same; 
And  He  must  win  the  battle. 

3  And  though  this  world,  with  devils  filled. 

Should  threaten  to  undo  us, 
We  will  not  fear,  for  God  hath  willed 
His  truth  to  triumph  through  us: 
The  prince  of  darkness  grim, 


We  tremble  not  for  him; 

His  rage  we  can  endure; 

For  lo,  his  doom  is  sure, 

One  little  word  shall  fell  him. 

That  word  above  all  earthly  powers, 

No  thanks  to  them,  abideth; 
The  Spirit  and  the  gifts  are  ours, 
Through  Him  who  with  us  sideth: 
Let  goods  and  kindred  go, 
This  mortal  life  also; 
The  body  they  may  kill: 
God's  truth  abideth  still; 
His  kingdom  is  forever.

He  knows  how  much  I  love  Him, 

He  knows  I  love  Him  well; 
But  with  what  love  He  loveth  me 

My  tongue  can  never  tell. 
It  is  an  everlasting  love, 

In  ever  rich  supply; 
And  so  we  love  each  other — 

My  Lord  and  I. 

Sometimes  I'm  faint  and  weary, 

He  knows  that  I  am  weak, 
And  so  He  bids  me  lean  on  Aim, 

His  help  I  gladly  seek. 
He  leads  me  in  the  paths  of  light, 

Beneath  a  sunny  sky, 
And  so  we  walk  together — 

My  Lord  and  I. 


I  tell  Him  all  my  sorrows, 

I  tell  Him  all  my  joys; 
I  tell  Him  all  that  pleases  me, 

I  tell  Him  what  annoys. 
He  tells  me  what  I  ought  to  do, 

He  tells  me  what  to  try 
And  so  we  talk  together — 

My  I^ord  and  I. 

He  knows  how  I  am  longing 

Some  weary  soul  to  win. 
And  so  He  bids  me  go  and  speak 

A  loving  word  for  Him: 
He  bids  me  tell  His  wondrous  love, 

And  why  He  came  to  die; 
And  so  we  work  together —

Hosannas,  Lord,  to  Thee  we  sing, 
Whose  power  the  giant  fiend  obeys; 

What  countless  thousands  tribute  bring, 
For     happier     home    and    brighter 
days! 

Thou  wilt  not  break  the  bruised  reed, 
Nor  leave  the  broken  heart  unbound:

The  wife  regains  a  husband  freed! 

The  orphan  clasps  a  father  found! 
Spare,  Lord,  the  thoughtless,  guide  the 
blind, 

Till  man  no  more  shall  deem  it  just 
To  live,  by  forging  chains  to  bind 

His  weaker  brother  in  the  dust.

4  With  Christlike  sympathy  may  we 
The  sorrows  of  our  brethren  see, 
Who,  captive  led  by  love  of  drink, 
Beneath  a  load  of  evil  sink. 

5  And  while  sobriety  we  teach. 

May  we  the  heart  and  conscience  reach; 
Make  sober  men  Thy  sons,  O  God 
Through  Thy  great  power  in  Christ  be- 
stowed. E.  Boaden 


Not   might,    nor  power,   Thyself  hast 

said. 
Can  vice  destroy  or  virtue  spread; 
Thy  Spirit,  Lord,  this  work  must  do. 
Who  only  can  our  hearts  renew. 
O  touch  our  lips  that  we  may  speak 
To  guard  the  tempted,  help  the  weak, 
And  guide  the  wand' ring  to  retrace 
Their  steps,  and  seek  a  Father's  face.

2   O  Christ,  Whose  voice  the  waters  heard, 
And  hushed  their  raging  at  Thy  word, 
Who  walkedst  on  the  foaming  deep, 
And  calm  amidst  its  rage  did  sleep;

Most  holy  Spirit,  Who  didst  brood 
Upon  the  chaos  dark  and  rude. 
And  bid  its  angry  tumult  cease, 
And  give,  for  wild  confusion,  peace; 
O  hear  us  when  we  cry  to  Thee, 
For  those  in  peril  on  the  sea. 


4  O  Trinity  of  love  and  power. 

Our  brethren  shield  in  danger's  hour; 
From  rock  and  tempest,  fire  and  foe, 
Protect  them  wheresoe'er  they  go; 
And  evermore  shall  rise  to  Thee 
Glad  hymns  of  praise  from  land  and  sea.

Nailed  hands  and  pierced  side. 

Jesus  loves  me;  night  and  morning 
Jesus  hears  the  prayers  I  pray. 

And  He  never,  never  leaves  me. 
When  1  work  or  when  I  play, 


Jesus  loves  me,  and  He  watches 
Over  me  with  loving  eye. 

And  He  sends  His  holy  angels 
Safe  to  keep  me  till  I  die. 

Jesus  loves  me;  O  Lord  Jesus, 
Now  I  pray  Thee  by  Thy  love 

Keep  me  ever  pure  and  holy 
Till  I  come  to  Thee  above.

2  I  wish  that  His  hands  had  been  placed  on  my  head. 

That  His  arm  had  been  thrown  around  me, 
And  that  I  might  have  seen  His  kind  look  when  He  said, 
"Let  the  little  ones  come  unto  Me." 

3  Yet  still  to  His  footstool  in  prayer  I  may  go, 

And  ask  for  a  share  in  His  love; 
And  if  I  thus  earnestly  seek  Him  below, 
I  shall  see  Him  and  hear  Him  above. 

4  In  that  beautiful  place  He  has  gone  to  prepare 

For  all  who  are  washed  and  forgiven; 
And  many  dear  children  shall  be  with  Him  there, 
For  of  such  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 


5  But  thousands  and  thousands,  who  wander  and  fall, 
Never  heard  of  that  heavenly  home; 
I  wish  they  could  know  there  is  room  for  them  all; 
And  that  Jesus  has  bid  them  to  come,

From  sin  and  pain.  He  gladly  reigns,

2  There's  a  home  for  little  children 

Above  the  bright  blue  sky. 
Where  Jesus  reigns  in  glory, 

A  home  of  peace  and  joy; 
No  home  on  earth  is  like  it. 

Nor  can  with  it  compare; 
For  every  one  is  happy, 

Nor  could  be  happier,  there. 

3  There's  a  crown  for  little  children 

Above  the  bright  blue  sky. 
And  all  who  look  for  Jesus 
Shall  wear  it  by  and  by. 


A  crown  of  brightest  glory, 
AVhich  He  will  then  bestow 

On  those  who  found  His  favor 
And  loved  His  name  below. 

There's  a  song  for  little  children 

Above  the  bright  blue  sky, 
A  song  that  will  not  weary. 

Though  sung  continually; 
A  song  which  even  angels 

Can  never,  never  sing; 
They  know  not  Christ  as  Saviour, 

But  worship  Him  as  King.

2  O  give  me  Samuel's  ear. 

The  open  ear,  O  Lord, 
Alive  and  quick  to  hear 

Each  whisper  of  Thy  word; 
Like  him  to  answer  at  Thy  call. 
And  to  obey  Thee  first  of  all. 

3  O  give  me  Samuel's  heart, 

A  lowly  heart,  that  waits 
Where  in  Thy  house  Thou  art, 


Or  watches  at  Thy  gates 
By  day  and  night;  a  heart  that  still 
Moves  at  the  breathing  of  Thy  will. 

4  O  give  me  Samuel's  mind, 

A  sweet  unmurmuring  faith, 
Obedient  and  resigned 

To  Thee  in  life  and  death. 
That  I  may  read  with  child-like  eyes 
Truths  that  are  hidden  from  the  wise,

2  Seek  me,  my  Saviour, 
For  I  have  lost  the  way; 
I  will  Thy  voice  obey. 

Speak  to  me  here : 
Help  me  to  find  the  gate 
Where  all  Thy  chosen  wait; 
Ere  it  shall  be  too  late, 

O  call  me  near  ! 


3  Show  me,  my  Saviour, 
How  I  can  grow  like  Thee; 
Make  me  Thy  child  to  be, 

Taught  from  above: 

Help  me  Thy  smile  to  win; 

Keep  me  safe  folded  in. 

Lest  I  should  rove  in  sin. 

Far  from  Thy  love.

Lead  us  where  Thou  hast  trod; 
Make  our  faith  strong.

Sound  we  Thy  praises  high, 

And  joyful  sing;

2  Shun  evil  companions;  bad  language  disdain; 
God's  name  hold  in  reverence,  nor  take  it  in  vain; 
Be  thoughtful  and  earnest,  kind-hearted  and  true; 
Look  ever  to  Jesus — He  will  carry  you  through. 

3  To  Him  that  o'ercometh  God  giveth  a  crown. 
Through  faith  we  shall  conquer,  though  often  cast  down; 
He  who  is  our  Saviour,  our  strength  will  renew; 
Look  ever  to  Jesus — He  will  carry  you  through.

Still  'tis  His  hand  that  leadeth  me.

Nor  ever  murmur  nor  repine;

Since  'tis  my  God  that  leadeth  me. 

4  And  when  my  task  on  earth  is  done, 
When  by  Thy  grace,  the  victory's  won,

Since  God  through  Jordan  leadeth  me.

Tell  me  the  story  slowly, 

That  I  may  take  it  in; 
That  wonderful  redemption, 

God's  remedy  for  sin: 
Tell  me  the  story  often, 

For  I  forget  so  soon; 
The  early  dew  of  morning 

Has  passed  away  at  noon. 
Tell  me  the  story  softly, 

With  earnest  tones  and  grave; 
Remember,  I'm  the  sinner 

Whom  Jesus  came  to  save : 

EVEN  ME    8.  7. 8.  7.  With  Refrain 


Tell  me  the  story  always. 

If  you  would  really  be, 
In  any  time  of  trouble, 

A  comforter  to  me. 
Tell  me  the  same  old  story. 

When  you  have  cause  to  fear 
That  this  world's  empty  glory 

Is  costing  me  too  dear: 
Yes,  and  when  that  world's  glory 

Is  dawning  on  my  soul. 
Tell  me  the  old,  old  story, 

"Christ  Jesus  makes  thee  whole.'

Pass  me  not,  O  gracious  Father, 

Sinful  though  my  heart  may  be; 
Thou  might' St  leave  me,  but  the  rather 

Let  Thy  mercy  light  on  me. 
Pass  me  not,  O  tender  Saviour, 

Let  me  love  and  cling  to  Thee; 
I  am  longing  for  Thy  favor; 

Whilst  Thou'rt  calling,  O  call  me. 
Pass  me  not,  O  mighty  Spirit, 

Thou  canst  make  the  blind  to  see; 


Witnesser  of  Jesus'  merit, 

Speak  the  word  of  power  to  me. 
Love  of  God,  so  pure  and  changeless. 

Blood  of  Christ,  so  rich  and  free, 
Grace  of  God,  so  strong  and  boundless, 

Magnify  them  all  in  me. 
Pass  me  not!   this  lost  one  bringing, 

'Tis  but  one  more,  Lord,  for  Thee; 
All  my  heart  to  Thee  is  springing; 

Blessing  others,  O  bless  me.

I  love  to  tell  the  story, 

For  some  have  never  heard 

The  message  of  salvation 

From  God's  own  holy  Word. 

I  love  to  tell  the  story; 

For  those  who  know  it  best 
Seem  hungering  and  thirsting 

To  hear  it  like  the  rest. 
And  when,  in  scenes  of  glory, 

I  sing  the  new,  new  song, 
'Twill  be  the  old,  old  story 

That  I  have  loved  so  long.

2  Safe  in  the  arms  of  Jesus, 

Safe  from  corroding  care, 
Safe  from  the  world's  temptations, 

Sin  cannot  harm  me  there. 
Free  from  the  blight  of  sorrow, 

Free  from  my  doubts  and  fears, 
Only  a  few  more  trials, 

Only  a  few  more  tears. 


638    ALBERTSON    7.7.7.7. 


Jesus,  my  heart's  dear  refuge, 

Jesus  has  died  for  me; 
Firm  on  the  Rock  of  Ages 

Ever  my  trust  shall  be. 
Here  let  me  wait  with  patience. 

Wait  till  the  night  is  o'er, 
Wait  till  I  see  the  morning 

Break  on  the  golden  shore.

Lo,  He  stands  and  calls  to  thee, 
"What  wilt  thou  then  have  of  me?' 
Rise,  and  tell  Him  all  thy  need; 
Rise,  He  calleth  thee  indeed. 


3  Lord,  I  would  Thy  mercy  see; 
Lord,  reveal  Thy  love  to  me; 
Let  it  penetrate  my  soul. 
All  my  heart  and  life  control.

2  Lord  Jesus,  look  down  from  Thy  throne  in  the  skies, 
And  help  me  to  make  a  complete  sacrifice; 

I  give  up  myself,  and  whatever  I  know — 

Now  wash  me,  and  I  shall  be  whiter  than  snow. 

3  Lord  Jesus,  for  this  I  most  humbly  entreat; 
I  wait,  blessed  Lord,  at  Thy  crucified  feet. 

By  faith,  for  my  cleansing,  I  see  Thy  blood  flow — 
Now  wash  me,  and  I  shall  be  whiter  than  snow. 

4  Lord  Jesus,  Thou  seest  I  patiently  wait; 
Come  now,  and  within  me  a  new  heart  create; 

To  those  who  have  sought  Thee,  Thou  never  said'st  No — 
Now  wash  me,  and  I  shall  be  whiter  than  snow.

2  At  the  blest  mercy-seat. 

Pleading  for  me; 
My  feeble  faith  looks  up, 

Jesus,  to  Thee. 
Help  me  the  cross  to  bear, 
Thy  wondrous  love  declare, 
Some  song  to  raise,  or  prayer, 

Something  for  Thee. 

3  Give  me  a  faithful  heart, 

Likeness  to  Thee, 
That  each  departing  day 
Henceforth  may  see 


Some  work  of  love  begun, 
Some  deed  of  kindness  done. 
Some  wanderer  sought  and  won, 
Something  for  Thee. 

All  that  I  am  and  have, 

Thy  gifts  so  free, 
In  joy,  in  grief,  through  life, 

Dear  Lord,  for  Thee! 
And  when  Thy  face  I  see. 
My  ransomed  soul  shall  be. 
Through  all  eternity. 

Something  for  Thee.

I  will  love  Thee  in  life,  I  will  love  Thee  in  death.

And  say  when  the  death-dew  lies  cold  on  my  brow. 
If  ever  I  loved  Thee,  my  Jesus,  'tis  now. 

In  mansions  of  glory  and  endless  delight; 
I'll  ever  adore  Thee  in  heaven  so  bright; 
I'll  sing  with  the  glittering  crown  on  my  brow,

2  Consecrate  me  now  to  Thy  service,   Lord, 

By  the  power  of  grace  divine; 
Let  my  soul  look  up  with  a  steadfast  hope. 
And  my  will  be  lost  in  Thine. 

3  O  the  pure  delight  of  a  single  hour 

That  before  Thy  throne  I  spend, 
When  I  kneel  in  prayer,   and  with  Thee,  my  God, 
I  commune  as  friend  with  friend. 

4  There  are  depths  of  love  that  I  cannot  know 

Till  I  cross  the  narrow  sea, 
There  are  heights  of  joy  that  I  may  not  reach 
Till  I  rest  in  peace  with  Thee.

2  Though  they  are  slighting  Him,  still  He  is  waiting. 

Waiting  the  penitent  child  to  receive; 
Plead  with  them  earnestly,  plead  with  them  gently; 
He  will  forgive  if  they  only  believe. 

3  Down  in  the  human  heart,   crushed  by  the  tempter. 

Feelings  lie  buried  that  grace  can  restore; 
Touched  by  a  loving  hand,   wakened  by  kindness. 
Chords  that  were  broken  will  vibrate  once  more. 

4  Rescue  the  perishing,   duty  demands  it; 

Strength  for  thy  labor  the  Lord  will  provide; 
Back  to  the  narrow  way  patiently  win  them; 
Tell  the  poor  wanderer  a  Saviour  has  died.

2  I  was  lost,  but  Jesus  found  me,  3  I  was  bruised,  but  Jesus  healed  me; 
Found  the  sheep  that  went  astray;  Faint  was  I  from  many  a  fall; 

Threw  His  loving  arms  around  me.  Sight  was  gone,  and  fears  possessed  me, 

Drew  me  back  into  His  way.  But  He  freed  me  from  them  all. 

4  Days  of  darkness  still  come  o'er  me, 
Sorrow's  paths  I  often  tread. 
But  the  Saviour  still  is  with  me, 
By  His  hand  I'm  safely  led.

2  O  happy  bond,  that  seals  my  vows 

To  Him  who  merits  all  my  love! 
Let  cheerful  anthems  fill  His  house. 
While  to  that  sacred  shrine  I  move. 

3  'Tis  done;  the  great  transaction's  done; 

I  am  my  Lord's,  and  He  is  mine: 
He  drew  me,  and  I  followed  on, 
Charmed  to  confess  the  voice  divine. 

4  Now  rest,  my  long-divided  heart. 

Fixed  on  this  blissful  center,  rest; 
Here  have  I  found  a  nobler  part, 

Here  heavenly  pleasures  fill  my  breast.

2.  One,  the  light  of  God's  own  presence, 

O'er  His  ransomed  people  shed. 
Chasing  far  the  gloom  and  terror, 

Brightening  all  the  path  we  tread: 
One,  the  object  of  our  journey, 

One,  the  faith  which  never  tires, 
One,  the  earnest  looking  forward. 

One,  the  hope  our  God  inspires. 

3  One,  the  strain  the  lips  of  thousands 
Lift  as  from  the  heart  of  one; 
One  the  conflict,  one  the  peril, 
One,  the  march  in  God  begun: 

36 


One,  the  gladness  of  rejoicing 

On  the  far  eternal  shore. 
Where  the  One  Almighty  Father 

Reigns  in  love  for  evermore. 

Onward,  therefore,  pilgrim  brothers! 

Onward,  with  the  Cross  our  aid! 
Bear  its  shame,  and  fight  its  battle, 

Till  we  rest  beneath  its  shade! 
Soon  shall  come  the  great  awaking; 

Soon  the  rending  of  the  tomb; 
Then  the  scattering  of  all  shadows. 

And  the  end  of  toil  and  gloom!

Close  to  Thy  wounded  side; 
This  all  my  hope  and  all  my  plea, 
For  me  the  Saviour  died. 

2  My  dying  Saviour  and  my  God, 

Fountain  for  guilt  and  sin, 
Sprinkle  me  ever  with  Thy  blood 
And  cleanse  and  keep  me  clean. 


3  Wash  me,  and  make  me  thus  Thine  own; 

Wash  me,  and  mine  Thou  art; 

Wash  me,  but  not  my  feet  alone, 

My  hands,  my  head,  my  heart. 

4  Th'  atonement  of  Thy  blood  apply, 

Till  faith  to  sight  improve. 
Till  hope  in  full  fruition  die. 
And  all  my  soul  be  love.

And  makes  us  pure  within, 
Till,  warmed  with  heavenly  love, 
We  yearn  to  sing  above 

Glad  songs  of  praise  forever!

The  Glory  dawns!   the  Day  is  come 

Of  Victory  and  Peace! 
And  now  upon  a  larger  plan 

We'll  build  the  common  good, 
The  temple  of  the  Love  of  Man, 

The  House  of  Brotherhood! 


What  though  its  stones  were  laid  in  tears, 

Its  pillars  red  with  wrong. 
Its  walls  shall  rise  through  patient  years 

To  soaring  spires  of  song! 
For  on  this  House  shall  Faith  attend. 

With  Joy  on  airy  wing, 
And  flaming  loyalty  ascend 

To  God,  the  only  King! 


America,  America, 

Ring  out  the  glad  refrain! 
Salute  the  Flag,  salute  the  dead 

That  have  not  died  in  vain! 
O  Glory!    Glory  to  thy  plan 

To  build  the  common  good. 
The  temple  of  the  Rights  of  Man, 

The  House  of  Brotherhood!

1  Lord,  Thou  hast  been  our  |  dwell-ing-  |  place  ||  in  |  all  =  |  gen-er-  |  ations. 

2  Before  the  mountains  were  brought  forth,  or  ever  Thou  hadst  formed  the  earth  | 

and  the  |  world,  ||  even  from  everlasting  to  ever-  |  last-ing  j  Thou  art  |  God. 

3  Thou  turnest  man  j  to  de- 1  struction  1 1  and  sayest,  Re- 1  turn,  ye  |  children  •  of  |  men . 

4  For  a  thousand  years  in  Thy  sight  are  but  as  yesterday  |  when  •  it  is  |  past  ||  and 

as  a  I  watch  =  |  in  the  |  night. 

5  Thou  carriest  them  away  as  with  a  flood;  they  |  are  •  as  a  |  sleep;  ||  in  the  morn- 

ing they  are  like  j  grass  which  |  grow-eth  |  up  ; 

6  In  the  morning  it  flourisheth,  and  |  grow-eth  |  up ;  ||  in  the  evening  it  is  cut  ( 

down  and  |  with-er-  |  eth. 

7  For  all  our  days  are  passed  away  |  in  Thy  |  wrath  ;  ||  we  spend  our  years  as  a  (

Oh,  if  my  mor  -  tal  feet  Have  almost  gained  the  brink 
Father,  perfect  my  trust,  Let  my  spirit  feel  in  death

2  MORNING  WORSHII 

II  Then  follows  the  Eeading  of  the  Holy  Scriptures,  which  will  usually  consist 
of  the  Law,  a  portion  of  the  Psalter,  and  a  Lesson  from  either  the  Old  or 
the  New  Testament,  or  both. 

The  Law. 

K  The  Reading  of  the  Law  may  he  introduced  by  the  Minister  with  the  words: 
Hear  the  Law  of  God  as  it  is  written  in  the  Twentieth  Chapter  of  the  Book 
of  Exodus: 

GOD  spake  all  these  words,  saying,  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  which 
have  brought  thee  out  of  the  land  of  Egyi^t,  out  of  the  house  of 
bondage. 

I.  Thou  shalt  have  no  other  gods  before  INIe. 

IL  Thou  shalt  not  make  unto  thee  any  graven  image,  or  any  likeness 
of  any  thing  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  that  is  in  the  earth  beneath,  or 
that  is  in  the  water  under  the  earth:  thou  shalt  not  bow  down  thyself 
to  them,  nor  serve  them :  for  I  the  Lord  thy  God  am  a  jealous  God,  visit- 
ing the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon  the  children  unto  the  third  and 
fourth  generation  of  them  that  hate  Me ;  and  showing  mercy  unto  thou- 
sands of  them  that  love  Me,  and  keep  My  commandments. 

III.  Thou  shalt  not  take  the  Name  of  the  Lord  thy  God  in  vain:  for 
the  Lord  will  not  hold  him  guiltless  that  taketh  His  Name  in  vain. 

IV.  Remember  the  Sabbath-day  to  keep  it  holy.  Six  days  shalt  thou 
labor,  and  do  all  thy  work:  but  the  seventh  day  is  the  Sabbath  of  the 
Lord  thy  God :  in  it  thou  shalt  not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor 
thy  daughter,  thy  man-servant,  nor  thy  maid-servant,  nor  thy  cattle,  nor 
thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy  gates:  for  in  six  days  the  Lord  made 
heaven  and  earth,  the  sea,  and  all  that  in  them  is,  and  rested  the  seventh 
day:  wherefore  the  Lord  blessed  the  Sabbath-day,  and  hallowed  it. 

V.  Honor  thy  father  and  thy  mother ;  that  thy  days  may  be  long  upon 
the  land  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee. 

VI.  Thou  shalt  not  kill. 

VII.  Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery. 

VIII.  Thou  shalt  not  steal. 


MORNING  WORSHIP  3 

IX.  Thou  shalt  not  boar  false  witness  against  thy  neighbor, 

X.  Thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbor's  house,  thou  shalt  not  eovet 
thy  neighbor's  wife,  nor  his  man-servant,  nor  his  maid-servant,  nor  his 
ox,  nor  his  ass,  nor  anything  that  is  thy  neighbor's. 

Hear  also  what  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  saith  (]\Iatt.  xxii :  37-40)  : 

Thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  with  all  thy  heart,  and  with  all  thy 
soul,  and  with  all  thy  mind.  This  is  the  first  and  great  commandment. 
And  the  second  is  like  unto  it,  Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbor  as  thyself. 
On  these  two  commandments  hang  all  the  law  and  the  prophets. 

H  After  the  Reading  of  the  Law  a  suitable  Response  may  be  sung. 

The  Psalter. 

li  A  portion  of  the  Psalter  may  be  read  responsively  by  the  Minister  and  People,

out end.     Amen.

THE  principal  parts  of  the  doctrine  of  Holy  Baptism  are  these 
three : 

First.  That  we,  with  our  children,  are  conceived  and  born  in  sin,  and 
therefore  are  children  of  wrath,  insomuch  that  we  cannot  enter  into  the 
kingdom  of  God,  except  we  are  born  again.  This  the  dipping  in  or 
sprinkling  with  water  teaches  us,  whereby  the  impurity  of  our  souls  is 
signified,  and  we  are  admonished  to  loathe  and  humble  ourselves  before 
God,  and  seek  for  our  purification  and  salvation  without  ourselves. 

Secondly.  Holy  Baptism  witnesseth  and  sealeth  unto  us  the  washing 
away  of  our  sins,  through  Jesus  Christ.  Therefore  w^e  are'^  baptized  in 
the  Name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost.  For 
when  we  are  baptized  in  the  Name  of  the  Father,  God  the  Father  wit- 
nesseth and  sealeth  unto  us  that  He  doth  make  an  eternal  covenant  of 
grace*  with  us,  and  adopts  us  for  His  children  and  heirs,  and  therefore 
will  provide  us  with  every  good  thing,  and  avert  all  evil  or  turn  it  to 
our  profit.  And  when  we  are  baptized  in  the  Name  of  the  Son,  the  Son 
sealeth  unto  us  that  He  doth  wash  us  in  His  blood  from  all  our  sins,  in- 
coiT)orating  us  into  the  fellowship  of  His  death  and  resurrection,  so 
that  we  are  freed  from  all  our  sins  and  accounted  righteous  before  God. 
In  like  manner,  when  we  are  baptized  in  the  Name  of  the  Holy  Ghost, 
the  Holy  Ghost  assures  us,  by  this  holy  Sacrament,  that  He  will  dwell 
in  us,  and  sanctify  us  to  be  members  of  Christ,  applying  unto  us  that 
which  we  have  in  Christ,  namely,  the  washing  away  of  our  sins  and  the 
daily  renewing  of  our  lives,  till  we  shall  finally  be  presented  without 
spot  or  wrinkle  among  the  assembly  of  the  elect  in  life  eternal. 

Thirdly.  Whereas  in  all  covenants  there  are  contained  two  parts,  there- 
fore are  we  by  God,  through  Baptism,  admonished  of  and  obliged  unto 
new  obedience,  namely,  that  we  cleave  to  this  one  God,  Father,  Son,  and 
Holy  Ghost;  that  we  trust  in  Him  and  love  Him  with  all  our  heart,, 


ADMINISTRATION  OF  BAPTISM  TO  INFANTS  i) 

-svith  all  our  soul,  with  all  our  mind,  and  with  all  our  strength;  that  we 
forsake  the  world,  cruoii'y  our  old  nature,  and  walk  in  a  new  and  holy 
life. 

And  if  we  sometimes,  through  weakness,  fall  into  sin,  we  must  not 
therefore  despair  of  God's  mercy  nor  continue  in  sin,  since  Baptism  is 
a  seal  and  undoubted  testimony  that  we  have  an  eternal  covenant  of 
grace  with  God. 

I. — To  Infants. 

AND  although  our  young  children  do  not  understand  these  things, 
we  may  not  therefore  exclude  them  from  Baptism ;  for  as  they  are, 
without  their  knowledge,  partakers  of  the  condemnation  in  Adam,  so 
are  they  again  received  unto  grace  in  Christ ;  as  God  speaketh  unto  Abra- 
ham, the  father  of  all  the  faithful,  and  therefore  unto  us  and  our  chil- 
dren (Gen.  xvii:7),  saying,  ''I  will  establish  My  covenant  between  Me 
and  thee  and  thy  seed  after  thee  in  their  generations,  for  an  everlasting 
covenant;  to  be  a  God  unto  thee,  and  to  thy  seed  after  thee."  This 
also  the  Apostle  Peter  testified,  with  these  \vords  (Acts  ii:39)  :  "For 
the  promise  is  unto  you,  and  to  your  children,  and  to  all  that  are  afar 
off,  even  as  many  as  the  Lord  our  God  shall  call."  Therefore  God 
formerly  commanded  them  to  be  circumcised,  which  was  a  seal  of  the 
covenant,  and  of  the  righteousness  of  faith ;  and  therefore  Christ  also 
embraced  them,  laid  His  hands  upon  them  and  blessed  them  (]\Iark 
x:16). 

Since  then  Baptism  is  come  in  the  place  of  circumcision,  infants  are 
to  be  baptized  as  heirs  of  the  kingdom  of  God  and  of  His  covenant. 
And  parents  are  in  duty  bound  further  to  instruct  their  children  herein, 
when  they  shall  arrive  at  years  of  discretion. 

THAT  therefore  this  holy  ordinance  of  God  may  be  administered  to 
His  glory,  to  our  comfort,  and  to  the  edification  of  His  Church,  let 
us  call  upon  His  holy  Name. 

Prayer. 

O  ALMIGHTY  and  eternal  God,  we  beseech  Thee  that  Thou  wilt  be 
pleased,  of  Thine  infinite  mercy,  graciously  to  look  upon  these 
children,  and  incorporate  them  by  Thy  Holy  Spirit  into  Thj^  Son  Jesus 
Christ,  that  they  may  be  buried  with  Him  into  His  death  and  be  raised 
with  Him  in  newness  of  life ;  that  they  may  daily  follow  Him,  joyfully 


10  ADMINISTRATION  OF  BAPTISM  TO  INFANTS 

bearing  their  cross,  and  cleave  unto  Him  in  true  faith,  firm  hope,  and 
ardent  love ;  that  they  may,  with  a  comfortable  sense  of  Thy  f avor,^ 
leave  this  life,  which  is  nothing  but  a  continual  death,  and  at  the  last 
day  may  appear  without  terror  before  the  judgment  seat  of  Christ  Thy 
Son ;  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord,  who  with  Thee  and  the  Holy  Ghost,, 
one  only  God,  lives  and  reigns  for  ever.     Amen. 

An  Exhortation  to  the  Parents,  and  Those  who  Come  with 
Them  to  Baptism, 

BELOVED  in  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  you  have  heard  that  Baptism 
is  an  ordinance  of  God,  to  seal  unto  us  and  to  our  seed  His  cov- 
enant. Therefore  it  must  be  used  for  that  end,  and  not  out  of  custom 
or  superstition.  That  it  may  then  be  manifest  that  you  are  thus  minded, 
you  are  to  answer  sincerely  to  these  questions : 

First.  Do  you  acknowledge  that  although  our  children  are 
conceived  and  born  in  sin,  and  therefore  are  subject  to  all  mis- 
eries, yea,  to  condemnation  itself ;  yet  that  they  are  sanctified  * 
in  Christ,  and  therefore,  as  members  of  His  Church,  ought  to- 
be  baptized? 

Secondly.  Do  you  acknowledge  the  doctrine  which  is  con- 
tained in  the  Old  and  New  Testaments,  and  in  the  Articles  of 
the  Christian  faith,  and  which  is  taught  here  in  this  Christian 
Church,  to  be  the  true  and  perfect  ■\  doctrine  of  salvation  ? 

Thirdly.     Do  you  promise  and  intend  to  see  these  children, 
when  they   come   to   the   years  of  discretion,   instructed  and 
brought  up  in  the  aforesaid  doctrine,  or  to  help  or  cause  them 
to  be  instructed  therein,  to  the  utmost  of  your  power? 
Answer.     Yes. 

U  Then  the  Minister  of  God's  Word,  in  baptizing,  shall  say: 

N ,  I  baptize  thee  in  the  Name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and 

of  the  Holy  Ghost.     Amen. 

Thanksgiving. 

ALMIGHTY  God  and  merciful  Father,  we  thank  and  praise  Thee, 
that  Thou  hast  forgiven  us  and  our  children  all  our  sins,  through 
the  blood  of  Thy  beloved  Son  Jesus  Christ,  and  received  us  through  Thy 
Holy  Spirit,  as  members  of  Thy  only  begotten  Son,  and  adopted  us  to

ADMINISTRATION  OF  BAPTISM  TO  ADlI/rS  11 

be  Thy  children,  and  sealed  and  conlinned  the  same  unto  us  by  Holy 
Baptism.  We  beseech  Thee,  through  the  same  Son  of  Thy  love,  that 
Thou  wilt  be  pleased  always  to  govern  these  baptized  children  by  Thy 
Holy  Spirit ;  that  they  may  be  piously  and  religiously  educated,  increase 
and  grow  up  in  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ ;  that  they  then  may  acknowledge 
Thy  fatherly  goodness  and  mercy,  which  Thou  hast  shown  to  them  and 
us,  and  live  in  all  righteousness,  under  our  only  Teacher,  King,  and 
High  Priest,  Jesus  Christ;  and  manfully  light  against  and  overcome 
sin,  the  devil,  and  his  whole  dominion,  to  the  end  that  tliey  may  eternally 
praise  and  magnify  Thee,  and  Thy  Son  Jesus  Christ,  together  with  the 
Holv  Ghost,  the  one  only  True  God.     Am&n. 


II. — To  Adults. 

HOWEVER  children  of  Christian  parents,  although  they  understand 
not  this  mystery,  must  be  baptized  by  virtue  of  the  covenant ;  yet 
it  is  not  lawful  to  baptize  those  who  have  come  to  years  of  discretion, 
except  they  first  be  sensible  of  their  sins,  and  make  confession  both  of 
their  repentance  and  their  faith  in  Christ.  For  this  cause  not  only  did 
Jolm  the  Baptist  preach,  according  to  the  command  of  God,  the  Bap- 
tism of  repentance,  and  baptize  for  the  remission  of  sin  those  who  con- 
fessed their  sins  (Mark  i:  4)  ;  but  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  also  commanded 
His  disciples  to  teach  all  nations,  and  then  to  baptize  them  in  the  Name 
of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  adding  this 
promise:  "He  that  believeth  and  is  baptized  shall  be  saved."  Accord- 
ing to  which  rule  the  Apostles  (Acts  ii,  x,  xvi)  baptized  none  who  were 
of  years  of  discretion,  but  such  as  made  confession  of  their  faith  and 
repentance.  Therefore  it  is  not  lawful  now  to  baptize  any  other  adult 
persons,  than  such  as  have  been  taught  the  mj'steries  of  Holy  Baptism 
by  the  preaching  of  the  Gospel,  and  are  able  to  give  an  account  of  their 
faith  by  the  confession  of  the  mouth. 

SINCE  therefore  you,  N ,  are  also  desirous  of  Holy  Baptism,  to 
the  end  it  may  be  to  you  a  seal  of  your  engrafting  into  the  Church 
of  God :  that  it  may  appear  that  you  *  do  not  only  receive  the  Chris- 
tian religion,  in  which  you  have  been  privately  instructed  by  us,  and  of 
which  also  you  have  made  confession  before  us,  but  that  you,  through 

*  When   persons  icho   have  been   baptized  in  Infaney  are  also   to   be  received  to 
full  communion,  the  Minister  may  here  add:

the  grace  of  God,  intend  and  purpose  to  lead  a  life  according  to  the 
same;  you  are  sincerely  to  give  answer  before  God  and  His  Church: 

First.  Dost  thou  believe  in  the  only  True  God,  distinct  in 
three  persons,  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost,  who  hath  made 
heaven  and  earth,  and  all  that  in  them  is,  of  nothing,  and 
still  maintains  and  governs  them,  insomuch  that  nothing  comes 
to  pass,  either  in  heaven  or  on  earth,  without  His  divine  will? 
Answer.     Yes. 

Secondly.  Dost  thou  believe  that  thou  art  conceived  and 
born  in  sin,  and  therefore  art  a  child  of  wrath  by  nature, 
wholly  incapable  of  doing  any  good  and  prone  to  all  evil;  and 
that  thou  hast  frequently,  both  in  thought,  word,  and  deed,^ 
transgressed  the  commandments  of  the  Lord;  and  art  thou 
heartily  sorry  for  these  sins  ? 
Answer.     Yes. 

Thirdly.  Dost  thou  believe  that  Christ,  who  is  the  True  and 
Eternal  God,  and  Very  Man,  who  took  His  human  nature  on 
Him  out  of  the  flesh  and  blood  of  the  Virgin  ]Mary,  is  given 
thee  of  God  to  be  thy  Saviour;  and  that  thou  dost  receive,  by 
this  faith,  remission  of  sins  in  His  blood;  and  that  thou  art 
made,  by  the  power  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  a  member  of  Jesus 
Christ  and  of  His  Church? 
Answer.     Yes. 

Fourthly.  Dost  thou  assent  to  all  the  Articles  of  the  Chris- 
tian religion,  as  they  are  taught  here  in  this  Christian  Church, 
according  to  the  Word  of  God ;  and  purpose  steadfastly  to  con- 
tinue in  the  same  doctrine  to  the  end  of  thy  life ;  and  also  dost 
thou  reject  all  heresies  and  schisms,  repugnant  to  this  doctrine, 
and  promise  to  persevere  in  the  communion  of  our  Christian 
Church,  not  only  in  the  hearing  of  the  Word,  but  also  in  the 
use  of  the  Lord's  Supper? 
Answer.     Yes. 

Fifthly.     Hast  thou  taken  a  firm  resolution  always  to  lead  a 
Christian  life ;  to  forsake  the  world  and  its  evil  lusts,  as  is  be- 
coming the  members  of  Christ  and  His  Church ;  and  to  submit 
thyself  to  all  Christian  admonitions? 
Answer.     Yes.

THE  good  aud  great  Uod  meroifuUy  grant  His  grace  and  blessing^

N ,  I  baptize  thee,  in  the  Name  of  the  Fatlier,  and  of  the  Son,  and 

of  the  Holy  Ghost.     Amen. 

Thanksgiving. 

ALjMIGHTY  God,  our  heavenly  Father,  we  give  Thee  most  humble 
and  hearty  thanks  that  Thou  hast  called  us  to  the  knowledge  of 
Thy  grace,  and  unto  the  faith  of  Thy  Son,  and  unto  the  covenant  of 
salvation,  wherein  we  are  sealed  by  Holy  Baptism.  Give  Thy  Holy 
Spirit  to  these  Thy  servants,  that,  being  bom  again  and  made  heirs  of 
God,  they  may  keep  themselves  in  Thy  love,  and  receive  the  fulfilment 
of  Thy  promises ;  through  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  who,  with  Thee,  0 
Father,  and  the  Holy  Ghost,  the  one  only  True  God,  liveth  and  reigneth,. 
Avorld  without  end.     Amen.

THE  OFFICE  FOR 

THE  ADMINISTRATION  OF  BAPTISM. 

Abridged  Form, 

II  The  use  of  the  Prayers  set  forth  in  this  Form  and  in  those  ivhich  folloic  is  not 
to  be  regarded  as  obligatory. 

Prayer. 

ALMIGHTY  God,  the  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  our  Father 
in  heaven,  we  bless  Thee  that  Thou  hast  been  pleased  to  enter  into 
a  covenant  of  grace  with  Thy  people  and  hast  appointed  the  holy  Sacra- 
ment of  Baptism  to  be  its  sign  and  seal.  Enable  us  to  receive  it  with 
true  faith;  and,  remembering  that  we  are  not  our  own,  but  belong  to 
our  faithful  Saviour  Jesus  Christ,  to  walk  worthily  of  the  Lord  unto  all 
pleasing;  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.     Amen. 

DEARLY  beloved  in  the  Lord:  The  principal  parts  of  the  doctrine 
of  Holy  Baptism  are  these  three : 

First.  That  we,  with  our  children,  are  by  nature  sinful  and  guilty 
before  God,  and  therefore  cannot  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God  ex- 
cept we  be  born  again. 

Secondly.  Holy  Baptism,  through  the  dipping  in  or  sprinkling  with 
water,  witnesses  and  seals  unto  us  the  washing  away  of  our  sins  through 
Jesus  Christ.  For  we  are  baptized  ' '  Into  the  Name  of  the  Father,  and 
of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Spirit."  When  we  are  baptized  into  the 
Name  of  the  Father,  God  seals  unto  us  His  covenant  of  grace ;  when  we 
are  baptized  into  the  Name  of  the  Son,  God  assures  us  of  our  cleansing 
through  the  blood  of  Christ;  and  when  we  are  baptized  into  the  Name 
of  the  Holy  Spirit,  God  promises  that  He  will  dwell  in  us  and  sanctify 
us  to  be  members  of  Christ. 

Thirdly.  Since  in  this  holy  Sacrament  we  enter  into  covenant  with 
God,  we  are  admonished  and  obliged  by  it  unto  a  new  obedience;  that 
we  forsake  the  world,  crucify  our  old  nature,  and  walk  in  a  new  and 
holy  life.     And  if  through  weakness  we  fall  into  sin,  we  must  not  de- 


ADMINISTRATION  OF  BAPTISM  TO  INFANTS  15 

spair  of  God's  mercy  uor  oontiuue  in  sin;  since  Jiaptism  is  a  sign  and 
seal  of  God's  eternal  covenant  of  grace  with  us. 

I. — To  Infants. 

ALTHOUGH  our  young  children  do  not  understand  these  truths,  we 
may  not  therefore  exclude  them  from  Baptism.  For  as  they  are, 
without  their  knowledge,  partakers  of  the  condemnation  in  Adam,  so 
are  they  again  received  unto  grace  in  Christ.  For  God  has  spoken  unto 
Abraham,  the  father  of  all  the  faithful,  and  therefore  unto  us  and  our 
children,  saying,  "I  will  establish  My  covenant  between  ^le  and  thee 
and  thy  seed  after  thee  in  their  generations,  for  an  everlasting  covenant ; 
to  be  a  God  unto  thee,  and  to  thy  seed  after  thee."  This  He  also  testi- 
fied unto  us  by  the  Apostle  Peter,  saying,  ' '  For  the  promise  is  unto  you, 
and  to  your  children,  and  to  all  that  are  afar  off,  even  as  many  as  the 
Lord  our  God  shall  call."  Our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  also  took  young  chil- 
dren in  His  anns,  put  His  hands  upon  them,  and  blessed  them,  and 
said,  "Suffer  the  little  children  to  come  unto  i\Ie,  and  forbid  them  notj 
for  of  such  is  the  kingdom  of  God." 

Children  are  therefore  to  be  baptized  as  heirs  of  the  kingdom  of  God 
and  of  His  covenant;  and  parents  are  bound  to  instruct  their  children 
in  the  duties  and  privileges  connected  therewith,  when  they  shall  arrive 
at  years  of  discretion. 

BELOVED  in  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ:  You  believe  that  Baptism  is 
an  ordinance  of  God  to  seal  unto  us  and  our  children  His  covenant. 
Therefore  it  must  be  used  to  that  end  and  not  out  of  custom  or  super- 
stition. That  it  may  be  manifest  that  you  are  thus  minded,  you  are  to 
answer  sincerely  to  these  questions : 

Do  you  acknowledge  that  although  our  children  are  by  na- 
ture sinful  and  guilty  before  God,  they  are  sanctified  in  Christ 
and  therefore,  as  members  of  His  Church,  ought  to  be  bap- 
tized ? 

Do  you  accept  the  doctrines  of  salvation,  which  are  contained 
in  the  Old  and  New  Testaments  and  in  the  Articles  of  the 
Christian  faith,  and  which  are  taught  in  this  Church? 

Do  you  promise  to  instruct  this  child  in  the  truths  of  God's 
"Word  and  in  the  way  of  salvation  through  Je.sus  Christ;  to 
pray  for  him  and  teach  him  to  pray;  and  to  train  him,  as  God 
may  give  you  grace,  in  all  holy  living,  to  the  end  that  he  may 


16  ADMINISTRATION  OF  BAPTISM  TO  ADULTS 

enjoy  eternal  life  both  in  this  world  and  in  the  world  to  come? 
Answer.     Yes. 

1f  Then  the  Minister,  in  baptizing,  shall  say : 

N ,  I  baptize  thee  into  the  Name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son, 

and  of  the  Holy  Spirit.     Amen. 

Prayer. 

ALMIGHTY  God,  our  heavenly  Father,  we  thank  Thee  that  we  may 
bring  this  child  to  Thee,  and  baptize  him  into  Thy  most  holy  Name. 
Guard,  we  beseech  Thee,  his  life  and  health,  and  fulfil  to  him  Thy 
gracious  promises.  Incline  him  by  Thy  Holy  Spirit  to  take  the  place 
which  belongs  to  him  in  the  Church  of  Thy  Son  Jesus  Christ,  and  to 
<?ontinue  Christ's  faithful  servant  unto  his  life's  end.  Enable  him  to 
overcome  the  temptations  of  the  world;  to  adorn  the  doctrine  of  God 
our  Saviour  in  all  things ;  and  finally  to  obtain  an  inheritance  among 
Thy  saints  in  light. 

Bless  also  Thy  servants,  his  parents,  that  they  may  faithfully  perform 
the  duties  laid  upon  them,  training  the  child  whom  Thou  hast  given 
them  in  the  nurture  and  admonition  of  the  Lord ;  and  walking  before 
him  and  with  him  in  the  beauty  of  holiness. 

Bless,  we  beseech  Thee,  all  the  children  of  Thy  Church;  and  pre- 
pare them  hereafter  to  carry  on  the  work  now  committed  to  us.  All 
this  we  ask  for  the  sake  of  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord,  who  has  taught  us 
to  pray. 

OUR  Father  who  art  in  heaven.  Hallowed  be  Thy  Name.  Thy  king- 
dom come.  Thy  will  be  done  in  earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven.  Give  us 
this  day  our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  forgive  our 
debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation,  but  deliver  us  from  evil: 
For  Thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glorv',  for  ever. 
Amen. 

II. — To  Adults. 

IT  is,  therefore,  not  lawful  to  baptize  those  who  have  come  to  years 
of  discretion,  except  they  be  sensible  of  their  sins  and  make  confes- 
sion both  of  their  repentance  and  of  their  faith  in  Christ.  Since,  then, 
you  are  desirous  of  Holy  Baptism,  that  it  may  be  to  you  a  seal  of  your

reception  into  the  Church  of  (Jod,  you  are  sinceii-ly  to  ji;ive  answer  be- 
fore God  and  His  Church : 

Do  you  believe  in  the  only  True  God,  Father,  Son,  and  Holy 
Spirit;  who  has  made  heaven  and  earth  and  all  that  in  them 
is,  and  so  maintains  and  governs  them  tliat  nothing  comes  to 
pass,  either  in  heaven  or  on  earth,  without.  His  divine  will? 
Ausiccr.     Yes. 

Do   you   acknowledge   that  you   are   by   nature   sinful    and 
guilty  before  God,  and  that  you  have  frequently  in  thought, 
word,  and  deed  transgressed  the  commandments  of  God ;  and 
are  you  heartily  sorry  for  these  sins? 
Answer.     Yes. 

Do  you  believe  that  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  who  is  the  Son 
of  God  and  the  Son  of  ]\Ian,  is  given  you  of  God  to  be  your 
Saviour,  and  that  you  receive  by  this  faith  remission  of  sins  in 
His  blood;  and  that  you  are  made  by  the  power  of  the  Holy 
Spirit  a  memher  of  Christ  and  of  His  Church? 
Answer.     Yes. 

Do  you  assent  to  the  Articles  of  the  Christian  religion  as. 
they  are  taught  in  this  Church  according  to  the  AVord  of  God ; 
and  do  you  promise  to  persevere  in  the  communion  of  the 
Church,  not  only  in  the  hearing  of  the  Word,  but  also  in  the 
use  of  the  Lord's  Supper? 
Answer.     Yes. 

Have  you  taken  a  firm  resolution  always  to  lead  a  Christian 
life ;  to  forsake  the  world  and  its  evil  lusts,  as  is  becoming  the 
members  of  Christ  and  His  Church,  and  to  submit  yourself  to 
all  Christian  admonitions? 
Answer.     Yes. 

THE  good  and  great  God  mercifully  grant  His  grace  and  blessing  tO' 
this  your  purpose,  through  Jesus  Christ.     Amen. 

•"   Then  the  Minister,  in  baptizing,  shall  sai/:

own  persons  of  that  covenant  of  God  of  which  your  Baptism  is  the  seal.

solemn  manner,  before  God  and  His  Church,  you  are  to  repeat  and  re- 
new that  confession. 

I  ask  each  one  of  you,  then: 

Do  you  believe  in  God  the  Father  Almighty,  Maker  of  heaven 
and  earth? 
Answer.     I  do. 

Do  you  believe  in  Jesus  Christ  His  only  Son,  our  Lord,  wlio 
was  conceived  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  born  of  the  Virgin  ]\Iary.

hand  of  God  the  Father  Almighty;  from  thence  He  shall  come 
to  .judge  the  quick  and  the  dead? 
Answer.     I  do. 

Do  you  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost ;  the  Holy  Catholic  Church, 
the  communion  of  saints ;  the  forgiveness  of  sins ;  the  resurrec- 
tion of  the  body;  and  the  life  everla.sting ?

Answer.    I  do. 

Do  you  purpose  steadfastly  to  continue  to  the  end  of  your 
life  in  the  truths  affirmed  in  these  Articles  of  the  Christian 
faith,  as  they  are  taught  here  in  this  Church,  according  to  the 
Word  of  God? 

Answer.     I  do. 

Do  you  promise  to  persevere  in  the  communion  of  the  Chris- 
tian Church,  and  in  the  diligent  use  of  all  the  means  of  grace, 
especially  in  the  hearing  of  the  Word  and  the  use  of  the  Lord's 
Supper,  to  seek  the  things  that  make  for  purity  and  peace,  and 
to  submit  yourself  to  all  Christian  care  and  admonition  ? 

Answer.     I  do. 

11  Then   the  Minister  shall  say: 

SINCE,  then,  you  have  ^vitnessed  this  good  confession,  in  the  name  of 
the  Church  and  of  Jesus  Christ  her  Lord  and  Head,  I  do  now  wel- 
come you  to  full  communion  with  the  People  of  God. 

H  Th-e  folloicing,  or  some  other  appropriate  Blessing,  icill  then   be  used,  given   to 
each  one  separately,  or  to  all  together,  as   the  Minister  may  choose. 

THE  mountains  shall  depart  and  the  hills  be  removed ;  but  My  kind- 
ness shall  not  depart  from  thee,  neither  shall  the  covenant  of  My 
peace  be  removed,  saith  the  Lord  that  hath  mercy  on  thee. 
The  Lord  bless  thee  and  keep  thee.

K  The   Minister  shall   then    offer  the   folloicing 

Thanksgiving. 

AL^IIGHTY  and  everlasting  God,  we  thank  and  praise  Thee  that 
Thou  hast  vouchsafed  unto  these  Thy  servants  power  and  grace,  to 
own  and  accept  for  themselves  Thy  holy  covenant,  sealed  and  confirmed 
to  them  in  tJieir  Baptism.  Strengthen  them,  we  beseech  Thee,  with  the 
Holy  Spirit  the  Comforter.  Increase  in  thein  daily  Thy  manifold  gifts 
of  grace ;  the  spirit  of  wisdom  and  understanding,  the  spirit  of  counsel 
and  might,  the  spirit  of  knowledge  and  of  the  fear  of  the  Lord.  Keep 
them  from  the  evil  that  is  in  the  world.     Enable  them  to  walk  in  the

Spirit,  that  they  may  not  fulfil  the  lusts  of  the  flesh;  and  so  lead  them 
in  the  knowledge  and  obedience  of  Thy  word  that  they  may  obtain  ever- 
lasting life;  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord,  who,  with  Thee  and  the 
Holy  Spirit,  liveth  and  reigneth,  ever  one  God,  world  without  end.

24  ADMINISTRATION  OF  THE  LORD'S  SUPPER 


THE  OFFICE  FOR 
THE  ADMINISTRATION  OF  THE  LORD'S  SUPPER. 

H  An  Abridged  Form  of  the  Office  fob  the  Administration  of  the  Lord's  Sup- 
per is  found  on  pages  32-38.  Either  Form  may  he  used,  at  the  discretion  of 
the  Minister. 

I. 

U  Before  the  administration  of   the   Holy   Communion  the  Minister  shall  say: 

BELOVED  in  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  attend  to  the  words  of  the  in- 
stitution of  the  Holy  Supper  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  as  they  are 
delivered  by  the  holy  Apostle  Paul,  1  Cor.  xi :  23-29. 

"For  I  have  received  of  the  Lord  that  which  also  I  delivered  unto 
you,  That  the  Lord  Jesus,  the  same  night  in  which  He  was  betrayed, 
took  bread;  and  when  He  had  given  thanks,  He  brake  it,  and  said,. 
Take,  eat :  this  is  i\Iy  body,  which  is  broken  for  you :  this  do  in  remem- 
brance of  Me.  After  the  same  manner  also  He  took  the  cup,  when  He 
had  supped,  saying.  This  cup  is  the  new  testament  in  My  blood :  this  do 
ye,  as  oft  as  ye  drink  it,  in  remembrance  of  Me.  For  as  often  as  ye  eat 
this  bread,  and  drink  this  cup,  ye  do  show  the  Lord's  death  till  He 
come.  Wherefore,  whosoever  shall  eat  this  bread,  and  drink  this  cup 
of  the  Lord  unworthily,  shall  be  guilty  of  the  body  and  blood  of  the 
Lord.  But  let  a  man  examine  himself,  and  so  let  him  eat  of  that  bread 
and  drink  of  that  cup ;  for  he  that  eateth  and  drinketh  unworthily, 
eateth  and  drinketh  damnation*  to  himself,  not  discerning  the  Lord's 
body." 

THAT  we  may  now  celebrate  the  Supper  of  the  Lord  to  our  comfort, 
it  is  above  all  things  necessary : 

I.  Rightly  to  examine  ourselves. 

II.  To  direct  the  Supper  to  that  end  for  which  Christ  hath  ordained 
and  instituted  the  same,  namely,  to  His  remembrance. 

*  Greek,   Krima;  Dutch,   Oordeel;   English,  Judgment,   condemnation. 


ADMINISTRATION  OF  THE  LORD'S  SUPPER  25 

THE  true  examination  of  ourselves  eonsists  of  these  three  parts: 
First.  That  every  one  consider  by  himself  his  sins  and  the  curse 
due  to  him  for  them,  to  the  end  that  he  may  abhor  and  humble  hiuLself 
before  God;  considering  that  the  wrath  of  God  against  sin  is  so  great, 
that,  rather  than  it  should  go  unpunished,  lie  hath  punished  the  same 
in  His  beloved  Son  Jesus  Christ,  with  the  bitter  and  shameful  death  of 
the  cross. 

Secondly.  That  every  one  examine  his  own  heart,  whether  he  doth 
believe  this  faithful  promise  of  God,  that  all  his  sins  are  forgiven  him 
onl}-  for  the  sake  of  the  passion  and  death  of  Jesus  Christ;  and  that 
the  perfect  righteousness  of  Christ  is  imputed  and  freely  given  him  as 
his  own,  yea,  so  perfectly  as  if  he  had  satisfied  in  his  own  person  for  all 
his  sins,  and  fulfilled  all  righteousness. 

Thirdly.  That  everj^  one  examine  his  own  conscience,  whether  he 
purposeth  henceforth  to  show  true  thankfulness  to  God  in  his  whole  life, 
and  to  walk  uprightly  before  Ilim;  as  also,  whether  he  hath  laid  aside 
unfeignedly  all  enmity,  hatred,  and  envy,  and  doth  firmly  resolve  hence- 
forth to  walk  in  true  love  and  peace  with  his  neighbor. 

All  those,  then,  who  are  thus  disposed  God  will  certainly  receive  in 
mercy,  and  count  them  worthy  partakers  of  the  table  of  His  Son  Jesus 
Christ.  On  the  contrary,  those  who  do  not  feel  this  testimony  in  their 
hearts  eat  and  drink  judgment  to  themselves. 

Therefore  we  also,  according  to  the  command  of  Christ  and  the  Apostle 
Paul,  admonish  all  those  who  are  defiled  with  the  following  sins  to  keep 
themselves  from  the  table  of  the  Lord,  and  declare  to  them  that  they 
have  no  part  of  the  kingdom  of  Christ:  such  as  all  idolaters;  all  those 
who  invoke  deceased  saints,  angels,  or  other  creatures;  all  those  who 
worship  images;  all  enchanters,  diviners,  charmers,  and  those  who  con- 
fide in  such  enchantments;  all  despisers  of  God  and  His  Word,  and 
of  the  holy  Sacraments;  aU  blasphemers;  all  those  who  are  given  to 
raise  discord,  sects,  and  mutiny,  in  church  or  state;  all  perjured  per- 
sons; all  those  w'ho  are  disobedient  to  their  parents  and  superiors;  all 
murderers,  contentious  persons,  and  those  who  live  in  hatred  and  envy 
against  their  neighbors;  all  adulterers,  whoremongers,  dnmkards,  thieves, 
usurers,  robbers,  gamesters,  covetous;  and  all  who  lead  offensive  lives. 

All  these,  while  they  continue  in  such  sins,  shall  abstain  from  this 
meat,  which  Christ  hath  ordained  only  for  the  faithful,  lest  their  judg- 
ment and  condemnation  be  made  the  heavier. 

But  this  is  not  designed,  dearly  beloved  Brethren  and  Sisters  in  the 
Lord,  to  deject  the  contrite  hearts  of  the  faithful,  as  if  none  might  come 


26  ADMINISTRATION  OF  THE  LORD'S  SUPPER 

to  the  Supper  of  the  Lord  but  those  who  are  without  sin.  For  we  do 
not  come  to  this  Supper  to  testify  thereby  that  we  are  perfect  and 
righteous  in  ourselves;  but,  on  the  contrary,  considering  that  we  seek 
our  life  out  of  ourselves,  in  Jesus  Christ,  we  acknowledge  that  we  lie  in 
the  midst  of  death.  Therefore,  notwithstanding  we  feel  many  infirm- 
ities and  miseries  in  ourselves ;  as  namely,  that  we  have  not  perfect  faith, 
and  that  we  do  not  give  ourselves  to  serve  God  with  such  zeal  as  we  are 
bound,  but  have  daily  to  strive  with  the  weakness  of  our  faith  and  the 
evil  lusts  of  our  flesh ;  yet,  since  we  are,  by  the  grace  of  the  Holy  Ghost, 
sorrj^  for  these  weaknesses,  and  earnestly  desirous  to  fight  against  our 
unbelief,  and  to  live  according  to  all  the  commandments  of  God,  there- 
fore we  rest  assured  that  no  sin  or  infirmity,  which  still  remaineth 
against  our  will  in  us,  can  hinder  us  from  being  received  of  God  in 
mercy,  and  from  being  made  worthy  partakers  of  this  heavenly  meat 
and  drink. 

II. 

LET  us  now  also  consider  to  what  end  the  Lord  hath  instituted  His 
Supper,  namely,  that  we  do  it  in  remembrance  of  Him.     Now, 
after  this  manner  are  we  to  remember  Him  by  it. 

1.  That  we  be  confidently  persuaded  in  our  hearts,  that  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  according  to  the  promises  made  to  our  forefathers  in  the 
Old  Testament,  was  sent  of  the  Father  into  the  world :  that  He  assumed 
our  flesh  and  blood :  that  He  bore  for  us  the  wrath  of  God,  under  which 
we  should  have  perished  everlastingly,  from  the  beginning  of  His  in- 
carnation to  the  end  of  His  life  upon  earth:  that  He  fulfilled  for  us  all 
obedience  to  the  divine  law,  and  righteousness,  especially  when  the 
weight  of  our  sins  and  the  wrath  of  God  pressed  out  of  Him  the  bloody 
sweat  in  the  garden,  where  He  was  bound  that  we  might  be  freed  from 
our  sins:  that  He  afterward  suffered  innumerable  reproaches,  that  we 
might  never  be  confounded ;  that  He,  although  innocent,  was  condemned 
to  death,  that  we  might  be  acquitted  at  the  judgment  seat  of  God :  yea. 
that  He  suffered  His  blessed  body  to  be  nailed  on  the  cross,  that  He 
might  affix  thereon  the  handwriting  of  our  sins:  that  He  also  took  upon 
Himself  the  curse  due  to  us,  that  He  might  fill  us  with  His  blessings: 
that  He  humbled  Himself  unto  the  deepest  reproach  and  pains  of  hell, 
both  in  body  and  soul,  on  the  tree  of  the  cross,  when  He  cried  out  with 
a  loud  voice,  "My  God,  My  God,  why  hast  Thou  forsaken  Me?"  that 
we  might  be  accepted  of  God,  and  never  be  forsaken  of  Him :  and  finally 
that  He  confirmed,  with  His  death  and  shedding  of  His  blood,  the  new 


ADMINISTRATION  OF  TIIK  LORD'S  SI  IM'KR  i>7 

and  eternal  testament,  that  covenant  oi"  grace  and  rccoiicilijitioii,  when 
He  said,  "It  is  finished." 

2.  And,  that  we  might  (irmly  believe  that  we  belong  to  this  covenant 
of  grace,  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  in  Ilis  last  Supper,  "took  bread,  and 
when  He  had  given  thanks,  be  brake  it,  and  gave  it  to  His  disciples, 
and  said,  Take,  eat,  this  is  'Sly  body  which  is  broken  for  you,  this  do  in 
remembrance  of  ^le:  in  like  manner  also,  after  sui)per,  He  took  the  cup, 
gave  thanks  and  said,  Drink  ye  all  of  it;  this  cup  is  the  new  testament 
in  ]\Iy  blood,  which  is  shed  for  you  and  for  many  for  the  remission  of 
sins;  this  do  ye,  as  often  as  ye  drink  it,  in  remembrance  of  ^le."  That 
is:  as  often  as  you  eat  of  this  bread  and  drink  of  this  cup,  you  shall 
thereby,  as  by  a  sure  remembrance  and  pledge,  be  admonished  and  as- 
sured of  this  My  hearty  love  and  faithfulness  toward  you :  that  whereas 
you  should  otherwise  have  suffered  eternal  death,  I  have  given  My  body 
to  the  death  of  the  cross,  and  shed  My  blood  for  you;  and  as  certainly 
feed  and  nourish  your  hungry  and  thirsty  soul  with  ]\Iy  crucified  body 
and  shed  blood  to  everlasting  life,  as  this  bread  is  broken  before  your 
eyes,  and  this  cup  is  given  to  you,  and  you  eat  and  drink  the  same  with 
your  mouth,  in  remembrance  of  ]\Ie. 

FROM  this  institution  of  the  Holy  Supper  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
we  see  that  He  directs  our  faith  and  trust  to  His  perfect  sacrifice, 
once  offered  on  the  cross,  as  to  the  only  ground  and  foundation  of  our 
salvation ;  wherein  He  is  become  to  our  hungry  and  thirsty  souls  the 
true  meat  and  drink  of  life  eternal.  For  by  His  death  He  hath  taken 
away  the  cause  of  our  eternal  death  and  misery,  namely,  sin ;  and  ob- 
tained for  us  the  quickening  Spirit,  that  we  by  the  same,  which  dwelleth 
in  Christ  as  the  Head  and  in  us  as  His  members,  might  have  true  com- 
mimion  with  Him,  and  be  made  partakers  of  all  His  blessings,  of  life 
eternal,  righteousness,  and  glory. 

Besides,  that  we,  by  the  same  Spirit,  may  also  be  united  as  members 
of  one  body,  in  true  brotherly  love;  as  the  holy  Apostle  saith.  "For  we, 
being  many,  are  one  bread  and  one  body;  for  we  are  all  partakers  of 
that  one  bread."  For  as  out  of  many  grains  one  meal  is  ground  and 
one  bread  baked,  and  out  of  many  berries  being  pressed  together  one 
wine  floweth  and  mixeth  itself  together;  so  shall  we  all,  who  by  a  true 
faith  are  ingrafted  into  Christ,  through  brotherly  love  be  all  together 
one  body,  for  the  sake  of  Christ,  our  beloved  Savnour,  who  hath  so  ex- 
ceedingly loved  us;  and  shall  show  this,  not  only  in  word,  but  also  in 
very  deed  toward  one  another. 


28  ADMINISTRATION  OF  THE  LORD'S  SUPPER 

Hereto  assist  us,  the  Almighty  God  and  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  through  His  Holy  Spirit.     Ameu. 

That  we  may  obtain  all  this,  let  us  humble  ourselves  before  God,  and 
with  true  faith  implore  His  grace. 

Prayer. 

OMOST  merciful  God  and  Father,  we  beseech  Thee  that  Thou  wilt 
be  pleased,  in  this  Supper,  in  which  we  celebrate  the  glorious  re- 
membrance of  the  bitter  death  of  Thy  beloved  Son  Jesus  Christ,  to 
work  in  our  hearts  through  the  Holy  Spirit,  that  we  may  daily,  more 
and  more,  with  true  confidence,  give  ourselves  up  unto  Thy  Son  Jesus 
Christ,  so  that  our  afflicted  and  contrite  hearts,  through  the  power  of 
the  Holy  Ghost,  may  be  fed  and  comforted  with  His  true  body  and 
blood ;  yea,  with  Him,  true  God  and  Man,  that  only  heavenly  bread : 
and  that  we  may  no  longer  live  in  our  sins,  but  He  in  us,  and  we  in 
Him ;  and  thus  truly  be  made  partakers  of  the  new  and  everlasting  testa- 
ment and  covenant  of  grace :  that  we  may  not  doubt  that  Thou  wilt  for 
ever  be  our  gracious  Father,  never  more  imputing  our  sins  unto  us,  and 
providing  us,  as  Thy  beloved  children  and  heirs,  with  all  things  neces- 
sary, as  well  for  the  body  as  the  soul.  Grant  us  also  Thy  grace,  that 
we  may  take  upon  us  our  cross  cheerfully,  deny  ourselves,  confess  our 
Saviour,  and  in  all  tribulations  with  uplifted  heads  expect  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ  from  heaven,  where  He  will  make  our  mortal  bodies  like 
unto  His  most  glorious  body  and  take  us  unto  Himself  in  eternity. 

OUR  Father  who  art  in  heaven,  Hallowed  be  Thy  Name.  Thy  king- 
dom come.  Thy  will  be  done  in  earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven.  Give 
us  this  day  our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  forgive 
our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation,  but  deliver  us  from  evil : 
For  Thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever. 
Amen. 

STRENGTHEN  us  also  by  this  Holy  Supper  in  the   Catholic  un- 
doubted  Christian   faith,    whereof   we   make    confession   with   our 
mouths  and  hearts,  saying :  * 

*  The  words,  "  with  our  inouths  and  hearts,"  evidently  require  the  audible  con- 
fession of  these  "  Articles  of  the  Christian  faith,"  both  by  the  Minister  and  by 
the  People. 


ADMLMSTKATION  OP  THE  LORDS  SIPPHR  -J'J 

I  BELIEVE  in  God  the  Father  Almighty,  Maker  of  heav.-n  and 
earth : 

And  iu  Jesus  Christ  His  onlj-  Son,  our  Lord ;  Who  was  eoneeived  hy 
the  Holy  Ghost,  Bom  of  the  Virgin  Mary ;  Suffered  under  Pontius 
I'ilate,  "Was  crucified,  dead,  and  buried ;  He  descended  into  hell ;  *  The 
third  day  He  rose  again  from  the  dead;  He  ascended  into  heaven.  And 
sitteth  on  the  right  hand  of  God  the  Father  Almighty;  From  thence 
He  shall  come  to  judge  the  quick  and  the  dead. 

I  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost;  The  Holy  Catholic  Church.  The  Com- 
munion of  Saints;  The  Forgiveness  of  sins;  The  Resurrection  of  the 
body;  And  the  Life  everlasting.     Amen. 

THAT  Ave  may  be  now  fed  with  the  time  heavenly  bread,  Christ 
Jesus,  let  us  not  cleave  with  our  hearts  unto  the  external  bread 
and  wine,  but  lift  them  up  on  high  in  heaven,  where  Christ  Jesus  is  our 
Advocate,  at  the  right  hand  of  His  heavenly  Father,  whither  all  the 
Articles  of  our  Faith  lead  us;  not  doubting  that,  through  the  working 
of  the  Holy  Ghost,  we  shall  as  certainly  be  fed  and  refreshed  in  our 
souls  with  His  body  and  blood,  as  we  receive  the  holy  bread  and  wine 
in  remembrance  of  Him. 

^  hi  breaking  and  distributing  the  bread,  the  Minister  shall  say: 

THE    Bread   which   we   break   is   the    communion    of   the   Body   of 
Christ. 

H  And   ichen  he  giveth  the  cup: 

THE  Cup  of  Blessing  which  we  bless  is  the  communion  of  the  Blood 
of  Christ. 

^  During  the  Communion,  a  Psalm  shall  or  may  be  devoutly  sung,  or  some  chap- 
ter read,  in  remembrance  of  the  death  of  Christ,  as  Isaiah  liii,  John  xiii,  xiv, 
XV,  xvi,  xvii,  xviii,   or  the  like. 

111. 
f  After  the  Communion  the  Minister  shall  say: 

BELOVED  in  the  Lord,  since  the  Lord  hath  now  fed  our  souls  at 
His  table,   let  us  therefore   .iointly  praise   His  holy  Name  with 
thanksgiving,  and  every  one  say  in  his  heart  thus: 

*  Instead  of  the  word  Hell,  may  be  used  the  word   lladrs. 


30  ADMINISTRATION  OF  THE  LORD'S  SUPPER 

Bless  the  Lord,  0  my  soul; 

And  all  that  is  within  me,  bless  His  holy  Name. 
Bless  the  Lord,  0  my  soul, 

And  forget  not  all  His  benefits: 
Who  f orgiveth  all  thine  iniquities ; 

Who  healeth  all  thy  diseases; 
Who  redeemeth  thy  life  from  destruction; 

Who  croivneth  thee  with  lovingkindness  and  tender  mercies. 

The  Lord  is  merciful  and  gracious, 

Slow  to  anger,  and  plenteous  in  mercy. 
He  hath  not  dealt  with  us  after  our  sins; 

Nor  rewarded  us  according  to  our  iniquities. 
For  as  the  heaven  is  high  above  the  earth, 

So  great  is  His  mercy  toward  them  that  fear  Him. 
As  far  as  the  east  is  from  the  west, 

So  far  hath  He  removed  our  transgressions  from  us. 
Like  as  a  father  pitieth  his  children. 

So  the  Lord  pitieth  them  that  fear  Him. 

Who  hath  not  spared  His  own  Son,  but  delivered  Him  up  for  us  all, 
and  given  us  all  things  with  Him.  Therefore  God  commendeth  there- 
with His  love  toward  us,  in  that  while  we  were  yet  sinners,  Christ  died 
for  US;  much  more  then,  being  now  justified  by  His  blood,  we  shall  be 
saved  from  wrath  through  Him.  For,  if,  when  w^e  were  enemies,  we 
were  reconciled  to  God  by  the  death  of  His  Son;  much  more,  being 
reconciled,  we  shall  be  saved  by  His  life.  Therefore  shall  my  mouth 
and  heart  show  forth  the  praise  of  the  Lord  from  this  time  forth  for 
evermore.     Amen. 

Let  every  one  say  with  an  attentive  heart: 

O  ALMIGHTY,  merciful  God  and  Father,  we  render  Thee  most 
humble  and  hearty  thanks,  that  Thou  hast,  of  Thine  infinite 
mercy,  given  us  Thine  only  begotten  Son,  for  a  mediator  and  a  sacrifice 
for  our  sins,  and  to  be  our  meat  and  drink  unto  life  eternal ;  and  that 
Thou  givest  us  lively  faith,  whereby  we  are  made  partakers  of  these 
Thy  benefits.  Thou  hast  also  been  pleased,  that  Thy  beloved  Son 
Jesus  Christ  should  institute  and  ordain  His  Holy  Supper  for  the  con- 
firmation of  the  same.  Grant,  we  beseech  Thee,  0  faithful  God  and 
Father,  that  through  the  operation  of  Thy  Holy  Spirit,  the  commemora-

tion  of  the  death  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  may  tend  to  the  daily  in- 
crease of  our  faith,  and  of  our  saving  fellowship  with  Him;  through 
Jesus  Christ  Thy  Son,  in  whose  Name  we  conclude  our  prayers,  saying: 

OUR  Father  who  art  in  heaven,  Hallowed  be  Thy  Name.  Thy  king- 
dom come.  Thy  will  be  done  in  earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven.  Give 
us  this  day  our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  forgive 
our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation,  but  deliver  us  from  evil : 
For  Thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever. 
Amen

Prayer. 

H  Instead   of   this   entire  Prmjer,   the   last   imragraph  only   may   he  read,   or  other 
suitable  prayers  may  be  substituted  for  those  here  given. 

IT  is  very  meet  and  right,  above  all  things,  to  give  thanks  unto 
Thee,  0  Eternal  God.  For  all  Thy  bounties  known  to  us,  for  all 
unknown,  we  give  Thee  thanks;  but  chiefly,  that  when,  through  dis- 
obedience, we  had  fallen  from  Thee,  Thou  didst  not  suffer  us  to  depart 
from  Thee  for  ever,  but  hast  ransomed  us  from  eternal  death,  and 
given  us  the  joyful  hope  of  everlasting  life,  through  Jesus  Christ  Thy 
Son ;  who,  being  True  and  Eternal  God,  became  Man  for  us  men,  and 
for  our  salvation. 

Not  as  Ave  ought  but  as  we  are  able,  we  bless  Thee  for  His  holy  in- 
carnation; for  His  life  on  earth;  for  His  precious  sufferings  and  death 
upon  the  cross ;  for  His  resurrection  from  the  dead ;  and  for  His  glorious 
ascension  to  Thy  right  hand. 

We  bless  Thee  for  the  giving  of  the  Holy  Spirit;  for  the  sacraments 
and  ordinances  of  the  Church;  for  the  communion  of  Christ's  body  and 
blood;  for  the  great  hope  of  everlasting  life,  and  of  an  eternal  weight 
of  glory. 

Thee,  Mighty  God,  Heavenly  King,  we  magnify  and  praise.  With 
angels  and  archangels,  and  all  the  hosts  of  heaven,  we  worship  and 
adore  Thy  glorious  Name. 

We  most  humbly  beseech  Thee,  0  merciful  Father,  to  vouchsafe  unto 
us  Thy  gracious  presence,  as  we  commemorate  in  this  Supper  the  most 
blessed  sacrifice  of  Thy  Son;  and  to  bless  and  sanctify  with  Thy  Word 
and  Spirit  these  Thine  own  gifts  of  bread  and  wine,  which  we  set  be- 
fore Thee;  that  we,  receiving  them,  according  to  our  Saviour's  institu- 
tion, in  thankful  remembrance  of  His  death  and  passion,  may,  through 


ADMINISTRATION  OF  THE  LORD'S  SUITER  33 

the  power  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  be  made  true  partakers  of  His  body  and 
blood,  with  all  His  beuetits,  to  our  salvation  and  the  glory  of  Thy  most 
holy  Name.     Amen. 

BELOVED  in  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  attend  to  the  words  of  the  in- 
stitution of  the  Holy  Supper  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  as  they  are 
delivered  by  the  holy  Apostle  Paul: 

"For  I  have  received  of  the  Lord  that  which  also  I  delivered  unto 
you,  That  the  Lord  Jesus,  the  same  night  in  which  He  was  betrayed, 
took  bread ;  and  when  He  had  given  thanks,  He  brake  it,  and  said.  Take, 
eat :  this  is  ]\Iy  body,  which  is  broken  for  you :  this  do  in  remembrance 
of  Me.  After  the  same  manner  also  He  took  the  cup,  when  He  had 
supped,  saying.  This  cup  is  the  new  testament  in  My  blood :  this  do  ye, 
as  oft  as  ye  drink  it,  in  remembrance  of  ]\Ie.  For  as  often  as  ye  eat 
this  bread,  and  drink  this  cup,  ye  do  show  the  Lord's  death  till  He 
come. ' ' 

That  we  may  now  celebrate  the  Supper  of  the  Lord  to  our  comfort,  it  is 
necessary,  first,  rightly  to  examine  ourselves,  and,  secondly,  to  direct  the 
Supper  to  that  end  for  which  it  was  instituted  by  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

LET  every  one,  therefore,  first  consider  his  sins  and  the  curse  due 
to  him  for  them,  that  he  may  truly  humble  himself  before  God. 
Let  every  one  also  examine  his  own  heart,  whether  he  believes  this  faith- 
ful promise  of  God,  that  all  his  sins  are  forgiven  him  only  for  the  sake 
of  the  passion  and  death  of  Jesus  Christ;  and  that  the  perfect  right- 
eousness of  Christ  is  imputed  and  freely  given  to  him  as  his  own,  even 
as  perfectly  as  if  he  had  satisfied  in  his  own  person  for  all  his  sins  and 
fulfilled  all  righteousness.  Finally,  let  every  one  examine  his  own  con- 
science, whether  he  purposes  henceforth  to  show  true  thankfulness  to 
God  in  his  whole  life,  to  walk  uprightly  before  Him,  and  to  live  in  lovt' 
and  peace  with  his  neighbor. 

All  those  who  are  thus  minded  God  will  certainly  receive  in  mercy, 
and  count  them  worthy  partakers  of  the  table  of  His  Son  Jesus  Christ. 
On  the  contrary,  according  to  the  command  of  Christ  and  the  Apostle 
Paul,  we  admonish  all  those  who  are  continuing  in  unrepented  sin  to 
keep  themselves  from  the  Lord's  table. 

But  this  is  not  designed,  dearly  beloved  Brethren  and  Sisters  in  the 
Lord,  to  distress  the  contrite  hearts  of  His  people,  as  if  none  might  come 
to  His  table  but  those  who  are  without  sin.  For  we  do  not  come  to  this 
Supper  to  testify  that  we  are  righteous  in  ourselves,  but  ratlier  that  we 


34  ADMINISTRATION  OF  THE  LORD'S  SUPPER 

are  conscious  of  our  sinfulness  and  trust  in  Jesus  Christ  alone  for  our 
salvation.  Therefore,  notwithstanding  we  feel  that  we  have  not  perfect 
faith,  and  that  we  do  not  serve  God  with  such  zeal  as  we  are  bound,  but 
have  daily  to  strive  with  the  weakness  of  our  faith  and  the  evil  lusts  of 
our  flesh;  yet,  since  Ave  are,  by  the  grace  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  sorry  for 
these  weaknesses,  and  earnestly  desirous  to  fight  against  our  unbelief 
and  to  live  according  to  all  the  commandments  of  God,  therefore  we 
rest  assured  that  no  sin  or  infirmity,  which  still  remains  against  our  will 
in  us,  can  hinder  us  from  being  received  of  God  in  mercy,  and  from 
Ijcing  made  w^orthy  partakers  of  this  heavenly  food. 

LET  us  also  consider  to  what  end  the  Lord  has  instituted  His  Sup- 
per:    "This  do  (He  said)  in  remembrance  of  Me." 

We  are,  therefore,  to  remember  that  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  accord- 
ing to  the  promises  made  in  the  Old  Testament,  was  sent  of  the  Father- 
into  the  world ;  that  He  assumed  our  flesh  and  blood ;  that  He  bore  for 
us  the  wrath  of  God,  under  which  we  should  have  perished  everlast- 
ingly; that  He  fulfilled  for  us  all  obedience  to  the  divine  law;  that  He, 
although  innocent,  was  condemned  to  death  that  we  might  be  acquitted 
at  the  judgment  seat  of  God;  that  He  took  upon  Himself  the  curse  due 
to  us,  that  He  might  fill  us  with  His  blessings;  that  He  humbled  Him- 
self unto  death,  even  the  bitter  and  shameful  death  of  the  cross,  when 
He  cried  out  with  a  loud  voice,  ' '  My  God,  My  God,  why  hast  Thou  for- 
saken Me?"  that  we  might  be  accepted  of  God  and  never  be  forsaken 
of  Him;  and  finally,  that  He  confirmed  with  the  shedding  of  His  blood 
the  new  and  eternal  covenant  of  grace  and  reconciliation,  when  He  said, 
"It  is  finished." 

That  we  might  firmly  believe  that  we  belong  to  this  covenant  of 
grace,  the  Lord  Jesus,  the  same  night  in  which  He  was  betrayed,  in- 
stituted the  Holy  Supper,  thus  teaching  us  that  as  often  as  we  eat  of 
this  bread  and  drink  of  this  cup,  we  are  thereby,  as  by  a  sure  remem- 
brance and  pledge,  admonished  and  assured  of  His  hearty  love  and 
faithfulness  toward  us;  that  whereas  we  should  otherwise  have  suffered 
eternal  death,  He  has  given  His  body  to  the  death  of  the  cross,  and 
shed  His  blood  for  us;  and  will  as  certainly  feed  and  nourish  our 
hungry  and  thirsty  souls  with  His  crucified  body  and  shed  blood  to  ever- 
lasting life,  as  this  bread  is  broken  before  our  eyes,  and  this  cup  is 
given  to  us,  and  we  eat  and  drink  in  remembrance  of  Him. 

From  this  institution  of  the  Holy  Supper  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
we  see  that  He  directs  our  faith  and  trust  to  His  perfect  sacrifice,  once 


ADMIXISTKATIOX  OF  TIIK   I.OliDS  SI  I'l'KK  M5 

offered  on  the  cross,  as  the  only  ground  oi'  our  salvation;  wherein  Ik' 
is  become  to  our  hungry  and  tliirsty  souls  the  true  meat  and  drink  of 
life  eternal.  For  by  His  death  He  has  taken  away  the  cause  of  our 
eternal  death  and  misery,  namely,  sin ;  and  obtained  for  us  the  quicken- 
ing Spirit,  that  we  by  the  same  Spirit,  which  dwells  in  Christ  as  the 
Head  and  in  us  as  His  members,  may  have  true  connnunion  with  Him, 
and  be  made  partakers  of  all  His  blessings,  of  life  eternal,  righteousness 
and  glory. 

So  also  are  we,  by  the  Holy  Spirit,  to  be  united  as  members  of  one 
body,  in  true  brotherly  love;  as  the  holy  Apostle  saith,  "For  we,  being 
many,  are  one  bread  and  one  body ;  for  we  are  all  partakers  of  that  one 
bread. ' ' 

Hereto  assist  us,  the  Almighty  God  and  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  through  His  Holy  Spirit.     Amen. 

H  Here  the  invitation  to  partake  of  the  Sacranient  may  be  given  to  Communicants 
present  uho  are  not  members  of  that  particular  Church.  .If  desired,  a  Hym.v 
may  then  be  sung:  during  which  the  table  may  be  uncovered  and  the  Minister 
approach  thereto,  and  any  necessary  change  of  place  among  the  Communicants 
may  be  made. 

Prayer. 

WE  here  present  ourselves  to  Thee,  0  Lord,  our  .souls  and  bodies,  to 
be  a  holy  and  living  sacrifice  unto  Thee ;  humbly  beseeching  Thee 
that  all  wiio  are  partakers  of  this  Holy  Communion  may  be  filled  with 
Thy  grace  and  heavenly  benediction.  And  though  we  are  unworthy, 
through  our  manifold  sins,  to  offer  unto  Thee  any  sacrifice,  yet  we  be- 
seech Thee  to  accept  this  our  bounden  duty  and  service;  not  weighing 
our  merits  but  pardoning  our  offences;  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 
Amen. 

H  Or  this: 

O^IOST  merciful  God  and  Father,  we  beseech  Thee  that  Thou  wilt 
be  pleased,  in  this  Supper,  in  which  we  celebrate  the  glorious  re- 
membrance of  the  bitter  death  of  Thy  beloved  Son  Jesus  Christ,  to 
work  in  our  hearts  through  the  Holy  Spirit,  that  we  may  daily,  more 
and  more,  with  true  confidence,  give  ourselves  up  unto  Thy  Son  Jesus 
Christ.  May  we  be  fed  and  comforted  mth  His  true  body  and  blood; 
yea,  with  Him,  true  God  and  ]\Ian,  that  only  heavenly  bread;  that  we 
may  no  longer  live  in  our  sins,  but  He  in  us,  and  we  in  Him.  Thus 
may  we  truly  be  partakers  of  the  new  and  everlasting  covenant  of  grace. 
Suffer  us  not  to  doubt  that  Thou  wilt  for  ever  be  our  gracious  Father, 


36  ADMINISTRATION  OF  THE  LORD'S  SUPPER 

never  more  imputing  our  sins  unto  us,  and  providing  us,  as  Thy  beloved 
children  and  heirs,  with  all  things  necessary,  as  well  for  the  body  as  the 
soul.  Grant  us  also  Thy  grace,  that  we  may  take  upon  us  our  cross 
cheerfully,  deny  ourselves,  confess  our  Saviour,  and  in  all  tribulations 
with  uplifted  heads  expect  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  from  heaven,  where 
He  will  make  our  mortal  bodies  like  unto  His  most  glorious  body  and 
take  us  unto  Himself  in  eternity.     Amen. 

STRENGTHEN  us  also  by  this  Holy  Supper  in  the  Christian  faith, 
whereof  we  make  confession  with  our  mouths  and  hearts,  saying: 

If  Here  the  Congregation  shall  rise. 

I  BELIEVE  in  God  the  Father  Almighty,  Maker  of  heaven  and 
earth : 

And  in  Jesus  Christ  His  only  Son,  our  Lord;  Who  was  conceived  by 
the  Holy  Ghost,  Born  of  the  Virgin  Mary;  Suffered  under  Pontius 
Pilate,  Was  crucified,  dead,  and  buried ;  He  descended  into  hell ;  *  The 
third  day  He  rose  again  from  the  dead;  He  ascended  into  heaven,  And 
sitteth  on  the  right  hand  of  God  the  Father  Almighty ;  From  thence  He 
shall  come  to  judge  the  quick  and  the  dead. 

I  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost;  The  Holy  Catholic  Church,  The  Com- 
munion of  Saints;  The  Forgiveness  of  sins;  The  Resurrection  of  the 
body;  And  the  Life  everlasting.     Amen. 

THAT  we  may  now  be  fed  with  the  true  heavenly  bread,  Christ  Jesus, 
let  us  not  cleave  with  our  hearts  unto  the  external  bread  and  wine, 
but  lift  them  up  on  high  in  heaven,  where  Christ  Jesus  is  our  Advocate, 
at  the  right  hand  of  His  heavenly  Father,  whither  all  the  Articles  of 
our  Faith  lead  us ;  not  doubting  that,  through  the  working  of  the  Holy 
Spirit,  we  shall  as  certainly  be  fed  and  refreshed  in  our  souls  with  His 
body  and  blood,  as  we  receive  the  holy  bread  and  wine  in  remembrance 
of  Him. 

tl  In  breaking  and  distributing  the  bread,  the  Minister  shall  sag: 

THE  Bread  which  we  break  is  the  communion  of  the  Body  of 
Christ. 

*  Instead  of  the  word  Hell,  may  be  used  the  word  Hades. 


ADMINISTRATION  OF  THE  LORD'S  SUPPER  37 

^  And  uhcn  he  givcth  the  cup: 

THE  Cup  of  Blessing  \vhieh  we  bless  is  the  communion  of  the  Blood 
of  Christ. 

H  After  the  Coinmuiiiott,  the  Minister  shall  proceed  as  folloirs,   the  People  reading 
their  part  responsircly : 

BELOVED  in  the  Lord,  since  the  Lord  hath  now  fed  our  souls  at 
Ilis  table,   let  us  therefore  jointly   praise   Ilis  holy   Name   with 
thanksgiving,  and  every  one  say  with  mouth  and  heart  thus: 

Bless  the  Lord,  0  my  soul ; 

And  all  that  is  within  mc,  bless  His  holy  Name. 
Bless  the  Lord,  O  my  soul, 

And  forget  not  all  His  benefits: 
Who  forgiveth  all  thine  iniquities; 

Who  hcaleth  all  thy  diseases; 
Who  redeemeth  thy  life  from  destruction ; 

Who  crowneth  thee  with  lovingkindness  and  tender  mercies. 
The  Lord  is  merciful  and  gracious. 

Slow  to  an.ger,  and  plenteous  in  mercy. 
He  hath  not  dealt  with  us  after  our  sins ; 

Nor  rewarded  us  according  to  our  iniquities. 
For  as  the  heaven  is  high  above  the  earth. 

So  great  is  His  mercy  toward  them  that  fear  Him. 
As  far  as  the  east  is  from  the  west. 

So  far  hath  He  removed  our  transgressions  from  us. 
Like  as  a  father  pitieth  his  children. 

So  the  Lord  pitieth  them  that  fear  Him. 

Who  hath  not  spared  His  own  Son,  but  delivered  Him  up  for  us  all, 
and  given  us  all  things  with  Him. 

Therefore  shall  my  mouth  and  heart  show  forth  the  praise  of  the  Lord 
from  this  time  forth  for  evermore.     Amen. 

Prayer. 

0AL:\IIGHTY,  merciful  God  and  Father,  we  render  Thee  most 
humble  and  hearty  thanks,  that  Thou  hast,  of  Thine  infinite 
mercy,  given  us  Thine  only  begotten  Son,  for  a  mediator  and  a  sacrifice 
for  our  sins,  and  to  be  our  meat  and  drink  unto  life  eternal.     Grant, 


38  ADMINISTRATION  OF  THE  LORD'S  SUPPER 

we  beseech  Thee,  0  faithful  God  and  Father,  that  through  the  operation 
of  Thy  Holy  Spirit,  the  commemoration  of  the  death  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ  may  tend  to  the  dail}^  increase  of  our  faith,  and  of  our  saving 
fellowship  with  Him ;  through  Jesus  Christ  Thy  Son,  in  whose  Name  we 
conclude  our  prayers,  saying: 

OUR  Father  who  art  in  heaven,  Hallowed  be  Thy  Name.  Thy  king- 
dom come.  Thy  will  be  done  in  earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven.  Give  us 
this  day  our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  forgive  our 
debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation,  but  deliver  us  from  evil : 
For  Thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever. 
Amen.

THE  OFFICE  FOR 

THE  ORDINATION  AND  INSTALLATION  OF  A  MINISTER 
OF  GOD'S  WORD. 

H  The  Constitiitiun  of  the  Reformed  Church  directs  that  the  name  of  a  Candidate 
for  Ordination  or  Installatian  shall  be  published  on  three  successive  Lord's 
Days.  In  the  case  of  Candidates  who  arc  not  to  be  installed  at  the  time  over 
any  particular  Church,  but  are  to  be  Ordained  to  the  Ministry,  such  publica- 
tion should  be  made  in  the  church  in  xchich  the  Ordination  is  to  take  place. 

tf  The  Sermon  and  the  usual  Prayers  being  finished,  the  Minister  presiding  shall 
proceed  as  follous: 

Prayer. 

ALMIGHTY  God,  who,  through  the  preaching  of  Thy  Word,  hast 
caused  the  light  of  the  blessed  Gospel  to  shine  throughout  the 
world ;  grant  us,  we  beseech  Thee,  Thy  presence  and  favor  in  all  that 
we  do  at  this  present  time;  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.     Amen. 

BELOVED  Brethren :  It  is  known  unto  you  that  we  have  at  three 
different  times  published  the  name  of  our  brother,  here  present,  to 
learn  whether  any  person  had  aught  to  offer  concerning  his  life  or  doc- 
trine, why  he  might  not  be  Ordained  to  the  Ministry  of  the  Word  *  and 
Installed  as  the  Pastor  and  Teacher  of  this  Church.\  And  whereas 
nothing  has  been  alleged  against  him,  we  shall  therefore  in  the  Name  of 
the  Lord  proceed  to  invest  him  with  this  sacred  office. 

Holy  Scripture  teaches  us  that  God,  our  heavenly  Father,  in  gather- 
ing unto  Himself  from  among  the  lost  children  of  men  a  Church  unto 
life  eternal,  is  pleased  therein  to  use  the  ministry  of  men.  Also  the 
Apostle  Paul  declares  that  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  "gave  some  apostles, 
and  some  prophets,  and  some  evangelists,  and  some  pastors  and  teachers, 
for  the  perfecting  of  the  saints,  for  the  work  of  the  ministry,  for  the 
edifying  of  the  body  of  Christ."  It  is,  therefore,  evident  that  the  office 
of  the  Ministers  of  God's  Word  is: 

*  If  a  Minister  already  ordained  is  to  be  installed  only,  these  words  shall  be 
omitted. 

t  If  the  Candidate  is  to  be  ordained  only,  these  words  shall  be  omitted. 


40  THE  ORDINATION  AND  INSTALLATION 

First.  Faithfully  to  explain  and  apply  the  Word  of  the  Lord,  to  the 
edifieation  of  the  hearers;  instructing,  admonishing,  comforting,  and  re- 
proving, according  to  every  one's  need;  preaching  repentance  toward 
God  and  reconciliation  with  Him  through  faith  in  Christ;  and  refuting 
with  the  Holy  Scriptures  all  schisms  and  heresies  contrary  to  the  pure 
doctrine. 

Secondly.  Publicly  to  call  upon  the  Name  of  the  Lord  in  behalf  of 
the  whole  congregation. 

Thirdly.  To  administer  the  Sacraments  which  the  Lord  has  insti- 
tuted as  seals  of  His  grace;  as  is  evident  fjom  the  command  given  by 
Christ  to  the  Apostles  and  through  them  to  all  His  Ministers. 

Finally.  To  govern  the  Church  of  God  in  such  manner  as  the  Lord 
has  ordained.  For  Christ,  in  speaking  of  the  Christian  discipline,  said 
to  His  Apostles:  "Whatsoever  ye  shall  bind  on  earth  shall  be  bound  in 
heaven." 

From  this  may  be  learned  how  glorious  the  office  of  the  Christian 
ministry  is  and  how  necessary  it  is  for  man's  salvation;  which  is  the 
reason  why  the  Lord  will  have  such  an  office  always  to  remain.  For 
He  said,  when  He  sent  forth  His  Apostles:  "Lo,  I  am  with  you  alway, 
even  unto  the  end  of  the  world." 

^  Eere  the  Candidate  shall  present  himself  before  the  pulpit. 

TO  the  end,  therefore,  that  it  may  appear  to  all  here  present  that 
you,  my  Brother,  are  willing  to  accept  this  office  as  thus  described, 
you  are  to  answer  sincerely  to  these  questions: 

Do  you  feel  in  your  heart  that  you  are  called  of  God's  Church,  and 
therefore  of  God  Himself,  to  this  holy  Ministry? 

Do  you  believe  the  books  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments  to  be  the 
Word  of  God  and  the  perfect  doctrine  unto  salvation;  and  do  you  re- 
ject all  doctrines  contrary  thereto? 

Do  you  promise  faithfully  to  discharge  your  office  according  to  this 
doctrine  and  to  adorn  it  with  a  godly  life;  also  to  submit  yourself,  in 
case  you  should  become  delinquent  either  in  life  or  doctrine,  to  ecclesi- 
astical admonition,  according  to  the  public  ordinance  of  our  Church? 

Will  you,  with  the  help  of  God,  fulfil  all  the  duty  of  a  faithful  Min- 
ister of  Christ  to  this  Church;  *  preaching  the  Word  of  God  in  sin- 
cerity ;    administering    the    holy    Sacraments    in    purity ;    maintaining 

*  These  words  shall  be  omitted  in  case  the  Candidate  is  not  to  be  installed.

proper  discipline  in  the  House  of  God ;  and  using  your  utmost  endeavor 
to  promote  the  work  and  welfare  of  the  Reformed  Church  in  America? 

II   To  all  of  uliicli   questions  the  Candidate  shall  ansaer: 

Yes,  truly,  with  all  my  heart. 

H  Then  the  Minister  presiding  and  other  Ministers  who.  are  present  shall  lay  their 
hands  on  his  head.  But  if  he  has  already  been  ordained,  and  is  to  be  in- 
stalled only,  this  shall  not  he  done.  In  either  case  the  presiding  Minister  shall 
say: 

GOD,  our  heavenly  Father,  who  hath  called  thee  to  this  holy  office, 
enlighten  thee  with  His  Spirit;  strengthen  thee  with  His  hand; 
and  so  govern  thee  in  thy  ministry  that  thou  mayest  decently  and  fruit- 
fully wallv  therein ;  to  the  glory  of  His  Name  and  the  promotion  of  the 
kingdom  of  His  Son  Jesus  Christ.     Amen. 

II  Then  the  Mi)iister  presiding  shall  from  the  pulpit  address  the  Candidate  as  fol- 
lows : 

TAKE  heed,  beloved  Brother  and  Fellow-servant  in  Christ,  unto  thy- 
self and  unto  all  the  tlock  over  which  the  Holy  Spirit  shall  make 
thee  overseer.  Love  Christ  and  feed  His  sheep.  Be  an  example  to  be- 
lievers in  word,  in  conduct,  in  charity,  in  spirit,  in  faith,  in  purity. 
Give  attendance  to  reading,  to  exhortation,  to  teaching.  Neglect  not  the 
gift  that  is  in  thee.  JMeditate  on  these  things;  give  thyself  wholly  to 
them,  that  thy  profiting  may  appear  to  all.  Take  heed  unto  the  doctrine 
and  continue  steadfast  therein.  Bear  patiently  all  sufferings  as  a  good 
soldier  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ;  for  in  doing  this  thou  shalt  both  save 
thyself  and  them  that  hear  thee.  And  when  the  chief  Shepherd  shall 
appear,  thou  shalt  receive  a  croAATi  of  glory  that  fadeth  not  away. 


H  If  the  Candidate  is  to  be  ordained  but  not  installed,  the  service  uill  conclude 
uith  the  following  Prayers.  If  the  service  is  one  of  Installation  as  well  as 
Ordination,  the  following  Prayers  shall  be  omitted,  and  the  presiding  Min- 
ister shall  proceed  uith   the  next   paragraph,   beginning  "  inasmuch,"   etc. 

Since  no  man  is  of  himself  sufficient  for  these  things,  let  us  call 
upon  God  with  thanksgiving. 

Prayer. 

MERCIFUL  Father,  we  thank  Thee  that  it  pleaseth  Thee  by  the 
ministry  of  men  to  gather  a  Church  unto  Thyself  to  life  eternal 
from  among  the  lost  children  of  men.     We  beseech  Thee  to  qualify

this  Thy  servant  more  and  more,  by  Thy  Holy  Spirit,  for  the  min- 
istry to  which  Thou  hast  chosen  and  called  him.  Enlighten  his  under- 
standing to  comprehend  Thy  holy  Word.  Give  him  utterance,  that  he 
may  boldly  make  known  Thy  Gospel.  Endue  him  with  wisdom  and 
courage.  Grant  him  patience  to  bear  the  difficulties  and  troubles  in 
his  ministry  and  mission;  that  being  strengthened  by  the  comfort  of 
Thy  Spirit,  he  may  rerhain  steadfast  unto  the  end  and  be  received  with 
all  faithful  servants  into  the  joy  of  his  Lord.  Hear  us,  0  Father, 
through  Thy  beloved  Son,  who  hath  taught  us  to  pray: 

OUR  Father  who  art  in  heaven,  Hallowed  be  Thy  Name.  Thy 
kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be  done  in  earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven. 
Give  us  this  day  our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we 
forgive  our  debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation,  but  deliver  us 
from  evil:  For  Thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory, 
for  ever.     Amen, 

t[  The  Minister  presiding  shall  then  say: 

IN  the  Name  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  by  that  authority  which 
He  hath  given  to  His  Church,  I  now  declare  you  to  be  duly  or- 
dained to  the  office  of  the  Holy  Ministry. 


1i  If  the  neioly  ordained  Minister  is  at  the  same  time  to  he  installed,  the  Minister 
presiding  shall  request  the  members  of  the  Church  to  rise,  and  shall  then  pro- 
ceed as  follotcs: 

INASMUCH,  beloved  Brethren  and  IMembers  of  this  Church,  as  this 
most  solemn  procedure  involves  obligations  and  duties  on  your  part 
toward  him,  I  ask  of  you  before  God  and  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ: 

Do  you  in  the  Name  of  the  Lord  receive  His  servant,  our  Brother,  to 
be  your  Minister? 

Do  you  promise  to  receive  the  word  of  truth  from  his  lips  with  meek- 
ness and  love;  and  to  submit  to  him  in  the  due  discharge  of  his  holy 
office? 

Do  you  promise  to  encourage  and  help  him  in  his  sacred  work,  and  to 
labor  with  him  in  faith  and  prayer  for  the  honor  of  Christ  and  the  wel- 
fare of  men? 

Do  you  engage  to  continue  to  him,  while  he  remains  your  Minister, 
competent  worldly  maintenance,  as  you  have  promised;  and  whatever 
else  the  honor  of  religion  and  his  comfort  among  you  require  ? 


OF  A  MINISTER  43 

To  tho.sc  (juestions  what  is  your  answer? 
Aftsiccr.     Yes. 

BELOVED  Brethren  and  Sisters:  Reeeive  this  your  ]\linif>ter  in  the 
Lord  with  all  gladness,  and  hold  such  in  reputation.  Remember 
that  God  Himself  speaketh  unto  you  and  beseecheth  you  through  him. 
Receive  the  word  which  he,  according  to  the  Scripture,  shall  preach 
unto  you,  not  as  the  word  of  man,  but,  as  it  is  in  truth,  the  Word  of 
God.  Obey  them  that  have  the  rule  over  you,  and  submit  yourselves; 
for  they  watch  for  your  souls,  as  they  that  must  give  account,  that  they 
may  do  it  with  joy,  and  not  with  grief ;  for  that  is  unprofitable  for  you. 
If  you  do  these  things,  it  shall  come  to  pass  that  the  peace  of  God  shall 
enter  into  your  houses,  and  that  you  who  receive  this  man  in  the  name 
of  a  prophet  shall  receive  a  prophet's  reward,  and  through  his  preach- 
ing, believing  in  Christ,  shall  through  Christ  inherit  life  eternal.

IN  the  name  and  by  authority  of  the  CTassis  of  I  now  declare 
that    the    pastoral    relation    between    the    Reverend and    the 

Church  of is  fully  constituted,  and  that  the  Reverend is  the 

lawfully  installed  Pastor  and  Teacher  of  this  Church. 

Since  no  man  is  of  himself  sufficient  for  these  things,  let  us  call  upon 
God  with  thanksgiving. 

Prayer. 

MERCIFUL  Father,  we  thank  Thee  that  it  pleaseth  Thee,  by  the 
ministry  of  men,  to  gather  a  Church  unto  Thyself  to  life  eternal, 
from  among  the  lost  children  of  men.  We  bless  Thee  for  so  graciously 
providing  the  Church  in  this  place  with  a  faithful  Minister.  We  be- 
seech Thee  to  qualify  him  daily  more  and  more,  by  Thy  Holy  Spirit,  for 
the  ministry  to  which  Thou  hast  chosen  and  called  him.  Enlighten  his 
understanding  to  comprehend  Thy  holy  Word.  Give  him  utterance, 
that  he  may  boldly  and  faithfully  proclaim  Thy  Gospel.  Endue  him 
with  wisdom  to  govern  aright  the  people  over  whom  he  is  set,  and  to 
preserve  them  in  Christian  peace.  Grant  him  patience  to  bear  the  diffi- 
culties and  troubles  which  he  may  meet  in  his  ministry;  tiiat  being 
strengthened  by  the  comfort  of  Thy  Spirit,  he  may  remain  steadfa.st 
unto  the  end  and  be  received  with  all  faithful  servants  into  the  joy  of 
his  Lord.

Give  Thy  grace  also  to  this  People  and  Church,  that  they  may  bear 
themselves  aright  toward  this  their  Minister;  that  they  may  acknowl- 
edge him  to  be  sent  of  Thee;  that  they  may  receive  his  doctrine  with 
ail  reverence  and  submit  themselves  to  his  exhortations ;  to  the  end  that 
they  may,  by  his  word,  believing  in  Christ,  be  made  partakers  of 
eternal  life.  Hear  us,  O  Father,  through  Thy  beloved  Son,  who  hath 
taught  us  to  pray: 

OUR  Father  who  art  in  heaven,  Hallowed  be  Thy  Name.  Thy  king-

TllK  ORDINATION  OF  A  MISSIONARY  45 


THE  OFFICE  FOR 
THE  ORDLNATION  OF  A  MISSIONARY. 

H  The   Sermon    and    the  usual   Prayers   being  finished,   the   Minister   thereunto  ap- 
pointed by  the  Classis  sluill  speak   thus  to  the  Congregation  present: 

BELOVED  Brethren:  We  are  met  together  in  the  presence  of  Al- 
mighty God  by  direction  of  the  Classis,  to  ordain  to  the  Min- 
istry of  the  Word  our  brother  here  present,  that  he  may  serve  God  and 
His  Church  as  a  Missionary  Evangelist.  The  Classis  being  satisfied  by 
due  examination  of  his  piety  and  fitness  for  this  work,  we  shall  there- 
fore at  present,  in  the  Name  of  the  Lord,  proceed  to  his  ordination,  for 
which  purpose  all  those  who  are  here  present  shall  first  attend  to  a 
short  declaration  taken  from  the  AVord  of  God  touching  the  institution 
of  the  office  of  Ministers. 

In  the  first  place,  you  are  to  observe  that  God,  our  heavenly  Father, 
willing  to  call  and  gather  a  Church  from  among  the  lost  race  of  men 
unto  life  eternal,  doth  by  a  particular  mark  of  His  favor  use  the  minis- 
try of  men.  Therefore  the  Apostle  Paul  saith  that  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ  "gave  some  apostles,  and  some  prophets,  and  some  evangelists, 
and  some  pastors  and  teachers,  for  the  perfecting  of  the  saints,  for  the 
work  of  the  ministry,  for  the  edifying  of  the  body  of  Christ."  Here 
we  see  that  the  holy  Apostle,,  among  other  things,  saith  that  the  Evan- 
gelist's office  is  an  institution  of  Christ.  So,  also,  we  are  told  in  the 
Oospel  that  "when  Jesus  saw  the  multitudes.  He  was  moved  with  com- 
passion on  them  because  they  fainted,  and  were  scattered  abroad  as 
sheep  having  no  shepherd.  Then  saith  He  unto  His  disciples.  The 
harvest  truly  is  plenteous,  but  the  laborers  are  few;  pray  ye  therefore 
the  Lord  of  the  harvest  that  He  will  send  forth  laborers  into  His 
harvest." 

The  office,  therefore,  of  ^Missionary  Evangelists  and  JMinisters  of 
God's  Word  is  to  carry  the  Gospel  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  to  all 
nations,  as  He  hath  commanded,  preaching  repentance  toward  God, 
and  reconciliation  with  Him  through  faith  in  Christ.  This  the  Apostle 
Paul  also  testifies,  as  when  he  saith  (Rom.  x:  13-15),  "Whosoever  shall 


46  THE  ORDINATION  OF  A  AIISSIONARY 

call  upon  the  Name  of  the  Lord  shall  be  saved.  How,  then,  shall  they 
call  on  Him  in  whom  they  have  not  believed?  And  how  shall  they 
believe  in  Him  of  whom  they  have  not  heard?  And  how  shall  they 
hear  without  a  preacher?  And  how  shall  they  preach  except  they  be- 
sent?" 

From  all  which  we  learn  that  one  who  is  to  be  ordained,  particularly 
as  a  Missionary  and  Evangelist,  is  not  only  to  exercise  the  ordinary 
office  of  a  Minister  of  the  Word,  namely,  to  feed  God's  people  with  the 
holy  Scriptures,  to  administer  the  Sacraments  and  to  maintain  Chris- 
tian discipline,  but  that  he  is  to  hold  himself  especially  bound  to  preach 
our  holy  religion  to  those  who  are  in  darkness  and  the  shadow  of  death, 
teaching  and  beseeching  them  to  be  reconciled  to  God  through  Christ. 

Forasmuch,  therefore,  as  we,  for  the  maintaining  of  this  office  in  the 
Church  of  God,  are  now  to  ordain  a  new  minister  of  the  Word  who  shall 
be  also  a  Missionary  of  the  Cross,  therefore  you,  my  Brother,  shall  an- 
swer openly  and  sincerely  the  following  questions,  to  the  end  that  it 
may  appear  to  all  here  present  that  you  are  inclined  to  accept  of  this 
office  as  above  described: 

Do  you  feel  in  your  heart  that  you  are  called  of  God's  Church,  and 
therefore  of  God  Himself,  to  this  holy  ^Ministry? 

Do  you  believe  the  books  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments  to  be  the 
AVord  of  God  and  the  perfect  doctrine  unto  salvation ;  and  do  you  re- 
ject all  doctrines  contrary  thereto? 

Do  you  promise  faithfully  to  discharge  your  office,  according  to  this 
doctrine,  and  to  adorn  it  with  a  godly  life;  also  to  submit  yourself,  in 
case  you  should  become  delinquent  either  in  life  or  doctrine,  to  ecclesi- 
astical admonition,  according  to  the  public  ordinance  of  our  Church? 

^  To  which  the  Candidate  shall  give  ansicer: 

Yes,  truly,  with  all  my  heart. 

\i  Then  the  Minister  who  demanded  these  questions  of  him,  and  other  Ministers- 
who  are  present,  shall  lay  their  hands  on  his  head,  and  the  presiding  Minister 
shall  say: 

GOD,  our  heavenly  Father,  who  hath  called  thee  to  this  holy  office,, 
enlighten  thee  with  His  Spirit;  strengthen  thee  with  His  hand; 
and  so  govern  thee  in  thy  ministry  that  thou  mayest  decently  and  fruit- 
fully walk  therein ;  to  the  glory  of  His  Name  and  the  promotion  of 
the  kingdom  of  His  Son  Jesus  Christ.     Amen. 


THE  OKDIXATIOX  OF  A  .MISSIONARY  47 

H   77ieu  the  officiating  Minister  shall,  from  the  pulpit,  exhort   the  ordained  Minister 
in  the  following  manner: 

TT^AKE  heed,  therefore,  beloved  lirother  and  FeUow-servant  in  Christ, 
I  imto  thyself,  and  unto  those  among  whom  thou  shalt  labor.  He  an 
example  to  believers  in  word,  in  conduct,  in  charity,  in  spirit,  in  faith, 
in  purity.  Give  attendance  to  reading,  to  exhortation,  to  teaching. 
Neglect  not  the  gift  that  is  in  thee.  ^Meditate  on  these  things ;  give  thy- 
self wholly  to  them,  that  thy  profiting  may  appear  to  all.  Take  heed 
unto  the  doctrine  and  continue  steadfast  therein.  Faithfully  exercise 
thyself  in  the  holy  Scriptures  and  call  upon  God  by  prayer  for  the  true 
understanding  of  the  same,  that  thou  mayest  be  able  to  teach  and  exhort 
with  wholesome  doctrine,  and  to  withstand  and  convince  gainsayers. 
Proclaim  to  all  men  the  whole  counsel  of  God.  Gather  those  who  ac- 
cept His  salvation  into  His  Church.  Exercise  such  discipline  among 
them  as  may  be  necessary,  and  as  by  the  authority  of  God  and  the  order 
of  this  Church  is  committed  to  thee.  Bear  patiently  all  sufferings  and 
oppressions  as  a  good  soldier  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ ;  for  in  doing  this 
thou  shalt  both  save  thyself  and  them  that  hear  thee.  And  when  the 
chief  Shepherd  shall  appear,  thou  shalt  receive  a  crown  of  glory  that 
fadeth  not  away. 

Since  no  man  is  of  himself  sufficient  for  these  things,  let  us  call  upon 
God  with  thanksgiving. 

Prayer. 

MERCIFUL  Father,  we  thank  Thee  that  it  pleaseth  Thee  by  the 
ministr}'  of  men  to  gather  a  Church  unto  Thyself  to  life  eternal 
from  among  the  lost  children  of  men.  We  beseech  Thee  to  qualify  this 
Thy  servant  more  and  more,  by  Thy  Holy  Spirit,  for  the  ministry  to 
which  Thou  hast  chosen  and  called  him.  Enlighten  his  understanding 
to  comprehend  Thy  holy  Word.  Give  him  utterance,  that  he  may  boldly 
make  known  Thy  Gospel.  Endue  him  with  wisdom  and  courage.  Grant 
him  patience  to  bear  the  difficulties  and  troubles  in  his  ministry  and 
mission ;  that  being  strengthened  by  the  comfort  of  Thy  Spirit,  he  may 
remain  steadfast  unto  the  end  and  be  received  with  all  faithful  servants 
into  the  joy  of  his  Lord.  Hear  us,  0  Father,  through  Thy  beloved  Son, 
who  hath  taught  us  to  pray : 

OUR  Father  who  art  in  heaven.  Hallowed  be  Thy  Name.     Thy  king- 
dom come.     Thy  will  be  done  in  earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven.     Give  us 
this  day  our  daily  bread.     And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  forgive  our

debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation,  but  deliver  us  from  evil : 
For  Thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever. 
Amen. 

^  The  Minister    presiding  shall  then  say: 

IN  the  Name  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  and  by  that  authority  which 
He  hath  given  to  His  Church,  I  now  declare  you  to  be  duly  or- 
dained to  the  office  of  the  Holy  Ministry. 


TllK  OKDl NATION  OF  ELDERS  AND  DEACONS  49 


THE  OFFICE  FOR 

THE   ORDINATION  AND  INSTALLATION  OF  ELDERS 
AND  DEACONS. 

tl  The  respective  ecclesiastical  powers  and  duties  of  Elders  and  Deacons  are  laid 
dotcn  in  the  Chapter  of  the  Constitution  of  the  Reformed  Church  in  America 
concerning  Consistories,  and  those  officers  should  acquaint  themselves  there- 
uith.     Their  civil  powers  vary  under  the  laws  of  different  Utates. 

If  The  Constitution  directs  that  the  names  of  all  Elders  and  Deacons  elect  shall 
he  published  from  the  pulpits  of  their  churches  on  three  successive  Lord's 
Days,  so  that  any  lawful  objections  by  competent  persons  may  be  interposed. 

H  Elders  and  Deacons  may  be  reelected,  but  need  not  be  reordained.  (Constitution, 
IV,  7.)  In  such  cases  the  following  Form  shall  be  considered  only  as  an 
Installation. 

\i  On  the  appointed  day,  at  such  place  in  the  order  of  public  worship  as  the  Min- 
ister shall  judge  proper,  unless  a  prayer  has  immediately  preceded,  he  shall 
offer  the  following 

Prater. 

AL^NIIGIITY  God,  our  heaveuly  Father,  direct  us  in  all  our  doings 
^vith  Thy  most  gracious  favor,  and  further  us  with  Thy  continual 
help ;  that  in  all  our  work  at  this  time,  begun,  continued,  and  ended  in 
Thee,  we  may  glorify  Thy  holy  Name,  and  finally  by  Thy  mercy  obtain 
everlasting  life;  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.     Amen. 

H  After  the  prayer  he  shall  address  the  People  as  folloits: 

BELOVED  Christians:  We  have  several  times  published  unto  you 
the  names  of  our  brethren  here  present,  who  are  chosen  to  the 
office  of  p]lders  and  Deacons  in  this  Church,  to  the  end  that  we  might 
know  whether  any  person  had  aught  to  allege  why  they  should  not  be 
inducted  into  their  respective  offices.  And  whereas  no  one  has  ap- 
peared before  us,  we  shall  now  proceed  in  the  Name  of  the  Lord. 

But  first  attend  to  a  declaration  concerning  the  office  of  Elders  and 
Deacons. 


50  THE  ORDLXATION  AND  INSTALLATION 

First.  The  office  of  the  Elders  is,  together  with  the  ^linisters  oi  the 
Word,  to  take  the  oversight  of  the  Church  which  is  committed  to  them, 
and  diligently  to  look  whether  every  one  properly  deports  himself;  to 
admonish  those  who  behave  themselves  disorderly,  and  to  prevent  as 
much  as  possible  the  Sacraments  from  being  profaned ;  to  act  according 
to  the  Christian  discipline  against  the  impenitent,  and  to  receive  the 
penitent  again  into  the  bosom  of  the  Church:  as  it  appears  from  many 
places  of  Holy  Writ  that  these  things  are  not  intrusted  to  one  or  two 
persons  only,  but  to  many  who  are  ordained  thereto. 

Secondly.  It  is  also  the  duty  of  the  Elders,  in  all  occurrences  which 
relate  to  the  welfare  and  good  order  of  the  Church,  to  be  assistant  with 
their  good  counsel  to  the  Ministers  of  the  Word:  yea,  to  serve  all  Chris- 
tians with  advice  and  consolation. 

Thirdly.  It  is  also  their  duty  particularly  to  have  regard  to  the 
teaching  and  conduct  of  the  Ministers  of  the  Word,  to  the  end  that  all 
things  may  be  directed  to  the  edification  of  the  Church,  and  that  no 
strange  doctrine  be  taught ;  for  the  performance  of  which  the  Elders  are 
in  duty  bound  diligently  to  search  the  Word  of  God. 

Concerning  the  Deacons:  Of  the  origin  and  institution  of  their  office, 
we  may  read  in  Acts  vi  that  men  were  chosen,  by  the  advice  of  the 
Apostles,  who  should  make  the  service  of  the  poor  their  peculiar  busi- 
ness, to  the  end  that  the  Apostles  might  give  themselves  continually  to 
prayer  and  to  the  ministry  of  the  Word.  From  this  passage  we  may 
easily  gather  what  the  Deacons'  office  is,  nameh^: 

First.  That  they  collect  and  preserv^e  with  the  greatest  fidelity  and 
diligence  the  alms  which  are  given  to  the  poor. 

Secondly.  That  they  distribute  the  same,  not  only  with  wisdom  and 
prudence,  but  also  with  sympathy  and  hearty  affection. 

\  Hereupon  the  Officers  elect  shall  take  their  stand  before  the  pulpit,  in  the  pres- 
ence of  the  Congregation,  and  the  officiating  Minister  shall  put  to  them  tlie 
following  questions: 

TO  the  end,  therefore,  Beloved  Brethren,  that  every  one  may  hear 
that  you  are  Mailing  to  take  your  respective  offices  upon  you,  you 
shall  answer  the  following  questions: 

I  ask  you,  both  Elders  and  Deacons,  whether  you  feel  in  your  hearts 
that  you  are  lawfully  called  of  God's  Church,  and  consequently  of 
God  himself,  to  these  your  respective  offices? 

Do  you  believe  the  books  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments  to  be  the 
Word  of  God  and  the  perfect  doctrine  of  salvation ;  and  do  you  reject 
all  doctrines  contrary  thereto  ? 


OF  ELDKKS  AND  DEACONS  51 

Do  3'ou  promise,  in  accordauee  with  this  doctrine,  faithfully,  accord- 
ing to  your  ability,  to  discharge  your  respective  offices;  the  Elders  in 
the  government  of  the  Church;  and  the  Deacons  in  the  ministrations  to 
the  poor?  Do  you  also  jointly  promise  to  walk  in  all  godliness,  and, 
in  case  you  should  become  remiss  in  your  duty,  to  submit  yourselves  to 
the  admonitions  of  the  Church? 

H  Upon  tchich  they  shall  answer: 
We  do. 

U  Then  the  Minister  shall  say : 

THE  Almighty  God  and  Father  replenish  you  all  with  His  grace, 
that  you  may  faithfully  and  fruitfully  discharge  your  respective 
offices.     Amen. 

H  The  Minister  may  here  come  down  from  the  pulpit,  and  laying  his  hand  upon 
any  of  those  uho  have  not  before  served  in  any  Consistory,  may  say: 

TAKE  thou  authority  to  execute  the  office  of  Elder  [or  Deacon]  in 
the  Reformed  Church  in  America :  in  the  Name  of  the  Father, 
and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Spirit.     Amen. 

U  But  this  ceremony  shall  not  he  observed  in  the  case  of  those  icho  have  served  in 
that  office  already.  Neither  does  the  Reformed  Church  consider  it  necessary 
for  full  and  proper  Ordination. 

11  The  Minister  shall  further  exhort  them  and  the  ichole  Congregation  in  the  fol- 
loioing  manner: 

THEREFORE  you,  Elders,  be  diligent  in  the  government  of  the 
Church,  which  is  committed  to  you  and  to  the  Ministers  of  the 
Word.  Take  heed  that  purity  of  doctrine  and  godliness  of  life  be 
maintained  in  the  Church  of  God. 

And  you,  Deacons,  be  diligent  in  collecting  and  prudent  in  distribut- 
ing the  alms ;  assist  the  oppressed ;  provide  for  the  widows  and  orphans ; 
show  liberality,  especially  to  the  household  of  faith. 

Be  all,  with  one  accord,  faithful  in  your  offices,  and  hold  the  mystery 
of  the  faith  in  a  pure  conscience ;  being  good  examples  to  all  the  people. 
In  so  doing  you  will  purchase  to  yourselves  a  good  degree,  and  great 
boldness  in  the  faith  which  is  in  Christ  Jesus  and  hereafter  enter  into 
the  joy  of  your  Lord. 

On   the   other   hand,   beloved   Christians,    receive   these   men   as   the 


52     THE  ORDINATION  OF  ELDERS  AND  DEACONS 

servants  of  God.  Count  the  Elders  that  rule  well  worthy  of  double 
honor.  Provide  the  Deacons  with  sufficient  means  to  assist  those  who 
are  in  need. 

Each  of  you  doing  these  things  in  your  respective  places  shall  receive 
of  the  Lord  the  reward  of  righteousness.  But  since  we  are  unable  of 
ourselves,  let  us  call  upon  the  Name  of  the  Lord,  saying: 

Prayer. 

OLORD  God  and  heavenly  Father,  we  thank  Thee  that  Thou  hast 
granted  us  in  this  place,  for  the  mainterpance  and  service  of  Thy 
Church,  men  who  are  of  good  testimony  and,  as  we  trust,  endued  with 
Thy  Spirit.  We  beseech  Thee,  replenish  them  more  and  more  with 
such  gifts  as  may  be  necessary  for  them  in  their  ministrations.  Give 
grace  unto  them  that  they  may  persevere  in  their  faithful  labor,  and 
never  become  weary  by  reason  of  any  trouble,  pain,  or  persecution  of 
the  world. 

Grant  also  Thy  divine  grace  to  this  people  over  whom  they  are  placed : 
to  the  end  that  every  one  acquitting  himself  of  his  duty,  Thy  holy 
Name  may  thereby  be  magnified,  and  the  kingdom  of  Thy  Son  Jesus 
Christ  enlarged;  in  whose  Name  we  conclude  our  prayers,  saying: 

OUR  Father  who  art  in  heaven,  Hallowed  be  Thy  Name.  Thy  king- 
dom come.  Th}^  will  be  done  in  earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven.  Give  us 
this  day  our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  forgive  our 
debtors.  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation,  but  deliver  us  from  evil: 
For  Thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever. 
Amen.
